Yeah, nothing biased about your opinions there alfa. The DPA folks didn't have an "essentially thought" agreement with ATL management. They had an
agreement. An agreement they secured
prior to showing up on the first day. That agreement was tested and fought the entire week by ALPA reps and volunteers. That's a fact. As far as flight pay loss, we won't know for certain until the ATL reps release the flight pay loss data. They will do that...won't they? I would bet that after the publicity this has gotten, anybody that did put in for flight pay loss, will rescind that request.

Hilarious. You must be surrounded by people who never question you. It's the only way you could distort the obvious so completely. Nobody at DPA cares about their picture being taken. Their names and faces are already public! What DPA was angry about was ALPA reps photographing
Delta pilots who were talking to the DPA and taking DPA literature to study what they were about. That's what you do to scabs who cross a picket line -
NOT to Delta pilots in their own crew lounge. Sickening and shameful. Only the hoplessly entrenched ALPA apologists could ever excuse this behavior.

I completely agree. The dying organization is ALPA...and it's happening right before our eyes. And it's not because of the actions of others. Their death is completely self-inflicted.

BS. Way too many others that reported the exact same thing of ALPA acting very unprofessionally, and the DPA guys just trying to be heard. ALPA must be so proud. If only they defended Section 1 so vigorously.
