I realize this statement runs against the common wisdom, but the con side mostly made up what they did not understand and lied about the rest. After I walked several of them through the language and their questions they acknowledged they had written bad information yet none of them returned to social media and told the truth. Worse, some of the misinformation got picked up by LEC Officers and went out as semi-official comms. (which would confuse anyone who does not understand that an LEC Rep can publish whatever they please)

ALPA's Admin published the truth. They were called "liars." The liar stuck.

This year some of the worst players on social media last year are in the ALPA administrative structure and serving the pilots quite well. John Malone's move to include and bring in some of the most vocal opponents of last year's deal has done a lot to make this year less toxic.

Those who got swept out from the old admin have taken the high ground and swore not to do to this team what this team did to them last year. We (I include myself in this group) try to focus on what is best for the Delta pilots (we are all Delta pilots).

The only party with a duty to be honest (and act as a fiduciary) is ALPA. ALPA is the only publisher with an attorney going over every word that is written.

The rest of us participate in SM for whatever motivations we have (with a lot less of an editorial process to ensure what is written is right).
