To the best of your knowledge is the data going to be made available in it's entirety and not distilled and "Watergated" with sections and names removed "for security reasons"?:rolleyes:

I'm done trying to tame the DALPA/DPA stuff on this thread, haha. If the other mods want to help me out, they can...but I'm the only one it seems lately and it's just not worth the effort.

FWIW, the DPA guys are showing a stronger and stronger presence in ATL. 90% of the guys I fly with have their cards in as well as more and more people that I know personally that I run into ops.

Some want to boot ALPA now, most are like me and want to see how the opener is. Not showing the opener to the masses will easily be worth another 500+ cards I would estimate.


I've got a couple friends that are rather high up at ALPA National, if you catch my drift. He is pulling the same crap there that he did at DALPA and it is driving them crazy. One of them went so far as to say he understands how the DPA movement got started at Delta now, and why I put my car in.

Specifically no. I was told it will be published but the reasons for the fpl may not be identified in every instance.

OK someone make a comment about black helicopters over my house:rolleyes:

Bill,

I respect your opinion, and to be fair, can only say, "we will see". It is my opinion, that their are more "chest thumping keyboard rangers" than there are people willing to take action if D-ALPA produces something inadequate.

Just my .02

Got it. Wearing your uniform at a BBQ and marching around managements office in support of your team in the merger over the other team is okay, but DALPA's "constructive engagement" with management isn't? To put it in simpler terms if DALPA had gone independent before the merger and was working like SWAPA or APA we'd be looking at stapling the NWA guys like AA did to TWA right? Screw the other guy! Its about me, especially if my management is looking out for me. That's a great message. I assume you'll be at the management BBQ with Richard and Ed for the next merger of 'equals' then? The DPA doesn't want a union period. They want to get rid of agency shop and stop paying dues. It's that simple.
