If this is true then its almost like DALPA is trying to help the DPA.

As long as they are paying Delta for the ability to keep flying them..... which I would bet they are. You know... liquidated damages. Delta is planning on revenue generation from those airplanes. SWA has to do all the mods. They don't deliver... I am sure they will have to pay up. I'm good with that and I am sure a bunch of guys that will continue to have time off are good with it. 
Oh wait...

Then Caplinger opens his mouth and promptly reminds us that he is the best promoter of keeping ALPA on property.

I believe this is incorrect. The company must take delivery of 1.25 B717s before it can take delivery of 1 76 seater. The measurment period relates to how many 50 seaters must be parked for each additional 76 seater above 153. Not 76 seaters coming before B717s.

That is definitely the way it was advertised, so I hope that is in fact correct. But I wouldn't be too surprised if there was the "Usual Scope loophole" in our contractual wording.

Nope. That's what it was sold as, but the first measurement period isn't until January.

Nobody that I've ever spoken to or whose words I've read has ever stated their support for decertifying ALPA was because of anything Mr. Caplinger has ever said. It's been for any number of various reasons experienced by each individual personally.
Since you've mentioned offensiveness, you should realize that by your comments above, you're stating your belief that thousands of your fellow pilots have signed DPA cards to avenge harm done to Mr. Caplinger.

That's sure to unite the pilot group.

The measurement period has nothing to do with the ratio of 76 seaters to 717s. It measures the amount of 50 seaters to 76 seaters.
