I'm probably going to open a huge can of worms with this question, but can someone give a brief history of why the RJDC got started and what its beef is with Delta or ALPA or both? I've only been at DL for a year so this is all new to me. The few DAL pilots I've asked either didn't know much about the RJDC or called them something colorful.

I'm aware that for some this is an emotional issue, but an unbiased, unopinionated brief on this would be appreciated. As Jack Webb would say, "Just the facts, Ma'am."

Thanks.
