They may at times as we all do, but then they have a pilot group go against everything they say, and they get to try and unscrew it while taking the heat for the language or action that got that pilot group there.

What I did say is that ALPA National has a conflict of interest in representing both us and the outsourced pilots who are doing our flying. It's not some paranoid, evil plot against us. It's simply a case of conflicted priorities that has serious potential for compromised data and less than stellar advice. If you were getting a divorce, would you want the same attorney representing both you and your wife? Would a competent, ethical attorney even take that case?

You would have to do ALPA work and deal with these people to understand that what you are accusing these people of is totally baseless and false. They do not sit there and tell us that we need to sell scope, and all of this other crud. They give legal advice, and advise us or the ramifications of actions. Legal ramifications, and what precedence is. They do not tell is that we would hurt X or Y. We then tell them what they are going to do, and they do their job, which is to minimize our legal risk as much as possible.

"Scheming against its pilots" - Now who said that? I know I didn't.

DCI carriers bargain with their companies, we bargain with DAL. Huge difference than a divorce where you both bargain with a judge.

You know full well I am not talking about you. I am talking about pilots like Hockey and DAL88 that refuse to do that work.

Maybe, just maybe DALPA supported the slot swap because it gives DAL a death hold on LGA, which provides pricing power in the NYC market. It provides more revenue opportunity which in turn creates revenue making Delta a healthy, profitable company. That revenue provides job protection. The RJ's will shift & mainline will shift. The never ending shuffle continues.
The RJ's have to be flown somewhere. DAL signed contracts, & they have to comply with them.
