I can't speak for firstmob, but here are a couple of pieces of "evidence" (at least what I consider evidence and an indication of the wrong mentality with DALPA):

Exhibit A -

Exhibit B - The scope grievance where Lee Moak agreed to allow additional aircraft (in violation of the intent of our scope language) in exchange for the company adopting our interpretation of that language going forward (thanks ALPA legal "aces" for the ironclad contractual wording advice) and another worthless no-furlough clause. We once again gave up some scope to allow more RJ's and further demonstrated to the company that we are push-overs and will not fight for principle or stand up for what we believe to be right.
