No. I'm not simply going to forget about it. These same folks think they are too valuable to be on the sidelines and will be chomping at the bit to get back in power as soon as a window of opportunity opens.
I heard one of the original 44 "Phantom" guys is back in town and he's been talking to some of the perfumed princes up on the 4th floor.
There's a rumor that members of the previous DALPA regime have been maintaining contact with their friends in the executive suites. Primarily through the Moak Group and the old guard refugees who still hold power at ALPA National.
They are allegedly formulating a joint strategy with management to stall the current negotiations in the hope that pilots will grow frustrated with our new DALPA reps due to the lack of progress.
Then --- guess who will attempt a comeback with promises to restore the "constructive" relationship with Delta management and break the logjam.
