No I did not. The last effort was heavily backed by management. I have a IM from somewhere here who heard the same thing and I have several emails also pointing in that direction. Even if the principle involved is not working with management the management team will do everything they can to support the effort if they view it as having a chance to succeed. It would be a huge coupe for Delta management. Divide and conquer at the most critical time in history for Delta pilots and a contract coming up.

What is your dues going to be for the new union? 4%? How are they going to build a war chest? How will they get the money and influence in DC to secure a release if needed. How will they build the contacts in DC? Takes years even decades of greasing palms to do that. How are they going to secure a medical team as good as ALPA medical. I have never heard anyone argue they are not the gold standard and they have tremendous influence with FAA medical. Having seen several friends go through medical issues I can assure you not one will vote for DPA.
In the end this effort will not come anywhere near success. It will however take a lot of money out of my pocket in the next contract. A strong united pilot group is the single most important thing we can have for the next contract. Even if they get 25% to mail in ballots it will have a huge negative effect on contract negotiations.
These efforts happen all the time after mergers. Someone does not get what they want and feels left out so they decide to try and take their ball and move to another group of friends and damage the old group. They will succeed in that and it will help management greatly in the next contract.
