At the risk of bringing down the wrath of the "don't say anything bad about my ALPA" crowd, I must say that the biggest disappointments I've had with my union have been:

1.) Their lacking strength to fight for our pensions.
2.) Their willingness to give up the 70 seaters. (whatever happened to that line in the sand?)

No one realizes it, but because ALPA was playing checkers with a management team that was playing chess, in 10 months the smallest airplane we will have being flown by mainline new DAL pilots will be the A-319 & 737-700's (124).

Unless acl comes forth with some juicy new rumor of a 100 seat replacement that will be on property in the next two years, I think we should have castled right away.
