Let me take some turpentine and wipe off some of the paint I just laid on with a wide brush. Not all supporters of DPA would fall into the above statement. Not all followers of movements are privy to the motives of the leaders of the movement, some just believe the rhetoric. I just look at the two biggest proponents here, Carl "wildcat strike" Spackler. I wouldn't follow that guy out of the Chilean mine shaft.

Is ALPA da bomb? No, like Tsquare I have big problems with some of Nationals policies and bloated ruling class parochialism. We do have a new President so something is bound to change.

I do know one thing, I and the bottom 1000 or so pilots have Lee Moak and DALPA's innovative forward thinking to thank for my job. After numbers like last year, what is the historical reaction to airline management? FURLOUGH! Do you think Capt Courageous would have forced Delta not to furlough anyone? Fat chance.

I'm sorry if I peeved anyone off or hurt anyone's feelings. I figure I'm entitled after all the other crap that gets tossed against the wall around here.
