Awesome.

Rhetorical question: Why would a guy who got bounced hard from his position in the MEC be supportive of a group that is antagonistic of the organization that removed him from his position?

I'm actually surprised that DPA was allowed at all on company property. ALPA is the "duly designated and authorized representative of the Flight Deck Crewmembers in the service of the Company for the purposes of the Railway Labor Act"; for them to allow a competing bargaining agent into a work area is dangerously close to a violation of the RLA.

I wonder if I could file a grievance against the company for a violation of the very first paragraph of the PWA, Section 1.A.1....
