Any Rep that supports Min Balances is irreparably harming the pilots of Delta Air Lines by delaying a new contract. Dozens of pilots have asked the MEC to poll the support for Min Balances. THEY WONT DO IT. They know that not only will it get blasted in a poll but they themselves, would face a recall. If there was ever a shadow agenda at DALPA in my time here, it's the pursuit of Min Balances. It's probably the single greatest reason pilots don't trust our leadership, and the greatest threat to our unity.

Min Balances is a poison pill that has almost ZERO support and if by some miracle made it into our next contract, it would eat up an ENORMOUS portion of the contract cost.
