I don't think ALPA can file a grievance with the company. I'm nearly positive that it was UAL's local ALPA and CAL's local that filed the grievance, thus they were the one's that won it. I would also be willing to bet that these locals had to fight ALPA national's "expert attorneys" every step of the way.
Maybe this is a sign of things to come. ALPA locals making national irrelevant if national doesn't tow the local's line.

So you don't know!
Got it. You have no idea what services are available and we all know that DPA has not announced who they would solicit. Probably because they have no idea either.
Considering that YOU are the DPA apologist without a clue as to who DPA has solicited perhaps you could tell us what flavor cool aid DPA serves.

I am for the debate that DPA brings. Nothing more. You are wrapped all around the alpa little finger. You're scared.

That's a good question. Not just who technically filed, but what was ALPA National's "advice" on it to the local(s)?
Even if it was hoo rah let's win this grievance, it could still just be so that it can be "sold" later for a slightly bigger cookie. Why give it away when you can sell it (and then some?)
I really want to be optimistic about the outcome, but there is much, much more to be written in this chapter and how it ends up will be huge. Even if ALPA National (and UCAL locals for that matter) "fought the good fight" on this one they should still be watched like a hawk, now more than ever because with the "winning" of this grievance comes the potential opportunity for more profession gutting "bargaining credit" style treachery. No one should let their guard down on this because of the result of this one snapshot of this crucial issue.

DPA self imposed deadline to have enough cards to call for a election is today. They stated in their website that they needed it done by now in order to properly represent the pilots in the coming contract and build a war chest. Do they have the cards or not? Will they end their effort and try to work with DALPA to provide the very best contract possible or work to their own self interests?
