Bar-
I like your arguments, but Carl is right on that one.
I think its unfair to question the DPA supporters' "patriotism". That was a bit of a cheap shot. They're still loyal Delta pilots even if you don't like their views of what to do about the problems at ALPA National.
Regardless of any union vote, they will be there when it comes time in 2012.
