What is nuts about unity?

All flying for the Delta brand should be performed by pilots on the Delta pilots' seniority list and represented by the Delta MEC. That might mean spanning multiple lists and certificates.

If being a Delta pilot was a requirement to perform Delta flying you would immediately see the value of Delta pilots increase. ALPA would all of a sudden be VERY relevant to the non represented pilots at SkyWest and Teamsters members at Republic.

If ALPA wanted to benefit itself, it would make ALPA membership a requirement to perform flying which it claims to control under its exclusivity with Delta Air Lines.
