The DPA agenda is to represent Delta pilots... and
only Delta pilots. I can live with that agenda. I cannot live with an agenda that helps regional pilot groups at the expense of the Delta pilot group.
Furthermore, DPA has clearly stated that it will be member-driven... i.e. objective will be set by the Delta pilots. Is that what we have now? I'm sure you disagree, since all you care about is not getting furloughed... but I have no doubt that what we have now is compromised by an ALPA National agenda. There has been no focus or apparent effort on restoring our profession and our careers. The only possible rationale I can even think of for this total lack of appropriate representation is that an agenda other than just the Delta pilot's agenda is in play here. I want that stopped. And DPA is a way to stop it.
And your characterization of DPA leaders as "shadowy" people who are just trying to advance their own individual agendas and "regain power" is completely off base. You have no proof or even any evidence of anything like that... on their web site or otherwise. Yet you spout it off as if it were a fact. Sounds like you may be the one with an "agenda."
