Suicide for whom? DALPA? ALPA national? It would be suicide for neither. The ALPA apologists would just stream from the four corners of the globe stating:

1. It was not a scope sale. Only those fostering disunity would say such a thing.
2. We had to do it because our lawyers said so.
3. OK, we understand you're mad. But whatcha gonna do? Go with DPA?
4. Don't worry, RJ's are good for Delta Air Lines...you'll see we're right.

So you see, it won't be suicide for the union. It will sure be murder for our careers though.
