I made it perfectly clear to Mr. Xxxxxxxxx that in my opinion, a breakaway of the Delta
pilots from ALPA would likely prove highly disadvantageous for the Delta pilots and destructive to our profession as a whole.

Yep.

I also expressed my significant concerns about the law firm Mr. Xxxxxxxxx's group has
enlisted as their counsel. The Allied Pilots Association had a previous relationship with the
Seham law firm and eventually dismissed them.

No surprise there. The DPA has gone trolling and picked a real winner with the Seham law firm. Don't they represent USAPA?

Shortly after the Sehams were dismissed at APA, they began coordinating with a pro-management dissident group at American called the AICA which has been trying to destabilize and decertify APA ever since.

Bonus points for the non trade unionist, hire a pro-management law firm.

I think that a Delta breakaway from ALPA would further fracture and destabilize our profession and play right into the hands of management teams across the industry.

Of course it would play right into management's hands, that what the Seham law firm does.

Finally, I asked Mr. Xxxxxxxxx to cease misrepresenting my position as part of his
recruitment efforts.

What! I'm shocked, shocked mind you that the President of the DPA would misrepresent the APA President's position.

To be clear, I will wield my veto power at CAPA to defeat any attempts by the DPA to make any sort of overtures to CAPA.

Sincerely,
Captain Dave Bates
President

So much for claims by the DPAers that they'd be welcomed into CAPA with open arms.
