Carl,
First, thank you for your passion and engagement. Most guys in your seniority bracket only think of one thing, money. Scope is way down the list for them. Secondly, while I am not thrilled with Alpa, I am equally unthrilled
with the names floated around so far with DPA. I would be very interested if certain names from the North side showed up endorsing them. IE former contract admin., former ANC Capt & SO reps, former greenbook R&I guy, etc. NOT former DTW Capt. nor DTW and MSP FO reps.(Ch11 angry 3) I want the smart, rational guys, not the hot headed fire, aim ready types. JMO...

A new union that is not so terribly conflicted with trying to see the regionals grow will not use these kind of scare tactics. Yes we may vote in some of the same people, but national really carries huge sway on important issues. I love the idea of no national...only local. And only Delta Air Lines.
