You're entitled to your opinion. You'll do better by having your opinions tied to any facts. There are no facts whatsoever regarding the DPA wanting to overturn our SLI. None. Yet you still call it "plausible". There is no legal basis whatsoever to overturn our SLI, yet you still call it "plausible". My opinion is that it makes you look foolish. Kind of like you having an opinion of a flat Earth.

Could be, but YOU are certainly not one of the independent-minded individuals. I remember your many posts on the DPA thread where you were one of the constant detractors of DPA, and one of the constant apologists for anything ALPA did or thought.

My comments are not intended for the closed minded folks such as you. They are only to correct blatant lies.

Hey Carl, while you try and blow BS up my ass about being "one" with the Republic pilots, it seems you are having some trouble being "one" with your fellow Delta pilots on here.....:D:D:D

Are you unable to focus? I never said I was a "mighty" Northwest pilot. Just a Northwest pilot. One that was actually there as opposed to some bitter RJ lifer like you who makes stuff up.

I don't make this up....I get it from the "green book" pilot in my family.....His facts are different than yours...You seem to be having some trouble with your fellow Delta pilots here on this board....Seems to be a pattern with you.....:D:D

But they do say EXACTLY what they want to accomplish. It's clearly laid out on the DPA website. Why do you continue to state otherwise? What's YOUR agenda?

Please keep this up alfa. These blatant lies help us more than you could ever know. After trying to bust their own union and after losing the latest DFR lawsuit to its former members, ALPA is left to do the only thing it can to stop the DPA...lie.

Hi Carl,

I'm not a DPA supporter, BUT there can be only two reasons for ole' screamin' Alfa to post this stuff:

1) They've figured out that a majority of DPA cards are from fDAL guys, with a fair majority from ATL. The SLI thing is all that's left to spook them.

2) He really believes that there is something actionable in the SLI.

Sadly, we DO have pilots that have experience suing their own pilot groups. These guys were never shy about what they were doing. But suing over something like a SLI takes BIG bucks, and if they were really serious, there would have already been some major fundraising going on. So the chances that this is going and and is some big secret is zero.

Also considering the statute of limitations and the time elapsed, these guys would need to be ready to go really soon, so they'd already need to have their nut collected. Since pilots are notoriously bad at keeping secrets, the chances that the who, what, where, when, why and how of those involved is a secret is also zero.

Considering that the TWA thing was dismissed as nothing but a nuisance, the fact that Alfa is making noise about a SLI suit must mean there is some concern as to the actionability

Now we all know that the above is absurd. So it must be just playing the fear card.

If ALPA is so secure in their position, then it should be a no brainer to go face to face and put all this stuff to rest once and for all.

All this other crap just reeks of insecurity in the Flat Earth Society.

Nu

Because Delta pilots (like NWA pilots and others) caved in to management fear tactics and allowed scope to erode. It wasn't supposed to be that way. Management promised that it would make the majors grow. They promised nobody would get furloughed and even gave us an "iron-clad" no furlough clause. The rest is history.

We were idiots for ever believing management. We should have known that they only ever wanted to outsource our labor to cheaper and more unqualified pilots...like you.

Nah, my only problem is with those few Delta pilots who are still madly in love with ALPA. The rest are really cool. Even at Delta, there's always a few JoeMerchant's that slip through the interview process. Other CMR pilots that see your posts must just cringe. Because I'm sure they realize that any pilot interviewing board that was looking at a Comair applicant would secretly be mortified by the thought: "Could this guy be JoeMerchant?"
