I actually feel sorry for TC, the DPA supreme leader or whatever he calls himself. He is so obviously out of his league that it is sad to watch. DPA says they have experienced union reps standing by to support them and I actually believe that. It is just these experienced people don't have the guts to stand up and make themselves known, they have pushed TC out to do their dirty work while the skulk around in the shadows. When this whole thing implodes, they will crawl back under their rocks, with their anonymity intact.

TC is a junior guy that got caught up in a double furlough and his life has been hell for the last decade. He has a right to be ticked off at the world. These unknown supporters have taken advantage of his anger and pushed him out into the spotlight so he can take all the heat when things go wrong. Now he may be known as the rat fink that snitched to management and got a fellow pilot fired. I am sure that will help his career a lot.

I probably know most of these behind the scenes rat finks, mostly guys that have oversized egos (and undersized ....) and they can't stand the fact that they lost an election. They have worked against the Delta pilots for years now, trying to make the situation worse so they can prove that without them in charge the world will come to an end.

Like you said, they have failed in this too, their last act of desperation will be the lawsuits, where they will try to tie up the real union, the one that tries to protect pilots jobs and not get them fired, They will try to make ALPA fail in our next contract negotiation because they are that bitter and self serving. Real men of courage. Let's vote for them.
