It's the Delta pilots money, why not spend it responsibly? ALPA has lost sight of the big picture imo and it's not helping us out. We have a union that is largely bark without any bite.
I don't see how a new union could be worse that what ALPA already is.
If you would, please give some example of how we would better use the money. The only thing that management understands is leverage (how much power do we have by ourselves vs what we have now)...will going it alone help us if there is a strike. Not trying to start a food fight, but this discussion seems like what we here from the politicians...we will have fiscal resp, we will get better jobs, we will make the schools better, but when pressed for specifics they fall apart.
