The problem with that is that I haven't heard or seen a single reference to the SLI as a reason to leave ALPA and go to DPA. I don't think this is about the SLI at all. From what I've seen, I think it is about a conflict of interest, a desire to have all our dues money and all our efforts in support of Delta pilots, and a desire to pursue restoration of our profession (and not be afraid to say it).
