While the DPA success or failure is secondary, what we really want is success for the average Delta pilot. Why would we support an organization that chooses to organize in a manner so contradictory to principles rooted in several thousands of years conflict. Literally millions of people have died ignoring these principles. Does DPA think they can ignore them and escape unscathed?
You keep all your JPME manuals on your nighstand don't you?
