Usapa disaster
Excerpt from DAL Mec:
The idea of a runaway union like the DPA is not new. The most recent historical example illustrates just how ineffective a group like this can be. In 2008, several US Airways pilots formed a similar organization (USAPA), making virtually identical promises, using the same law firm as the DPA. Five years later, the only things USAPA has delivered are false hope and broken promises. The pilots don’t have a new contract. There is no change to the seniority system. The “professionals” who promised all these changes have been fired and they now work for the DPA.
Let’s be clear, DPA’s efforts are a blueprint of the USAPA disaster and we cannot afford to
repeat the US Airways fiasco here."

And those always end the same way...
