DALPA separates from ALPA and morphs into something called DPA. This would likely result in UCAL doing the same thing. Now all the major airlines are aligned with CAPA.

ALPA has to change because now it is roughly a regional only (exc Fedex) union. However, ALPA also can provide fee for service specialized business unit (aeromed, etc). CAPA is the voice of Majors, ALPA is the voice of regionals. The conflict of interest is gone almost overnight and now you have two power houses that have to work in the best interests of their constituents.

They also have to work together on areas of mutual interest.

How is this bad?
It isn't... there is much fear about losing the security blanket... We all gave it up at one point in our lives.. this is no different. And besides, it's full of holes and smells really really bad.
