Did ALPA strongly threaten against leaving items (stickers, cards, stc.) in the cockpit?
Point being, every effort was made to hobble them from the get go by ALPA and the company. Its that darn recovery compact again

Or instead of inventing a conspiracy, you could reference Federal Law (as governed by the RLA) as regards to ALPA being the exclusive bargaining agent for the pilots of Delta Air Lines, and DAL Inc. being subject to a lawsuit by ALPA if they permitted another prospective union from setting up shop on Company property.
Same difference I guess.
