I'm far from a defender of ALPA's true issues, but to blame the ability to fly during vacation on ALPA seems a bit disingenuous.
That seems more like a concession as most ALPA carriers do not allow that as a matter of fact in the contract, lord knows Delta mgmt would love to have the pilots either 1. Fly on vacation or even 2. Sell vacation back. That's one concession too far though for DALPA to have accepted even during BK contract.
