Both DALPA and DAL are very conscious of the DAL brand. Military pilots would flock to other airlines if they had to start at DAL flying a regional for low pay. I think they were more worried about losing the military pipeline than anything else.
Why did DALPA and DAL allow the outsourcing of more than 50 percent of Delta flying if they are so concerned about the DAL brand?
Also, I was not referring to DAL. I was referring to ALPA using its capital for military pilots over dues paying ALPA members and how that is wrong.
