Now grant you, that's just what DPA states, so it's quite possible it's BS.

Transform DPA - Delta Pilots Association



I clicked on them, read them, and then decided to send in my card. YGBSM. (D)ALPA is showing me less and less.

Are ALPA stickers made in house or at a union shop and which one? The pin I received in the mail for 9/11, who made that?

Just if you're going to write this you need to say... for instance ALPA uses... and uses... and uses...

What would've been real fun is if Captain DD had said "is the DPA going to allow their own employees to unionize and if so, will they treat them fairly like ALPA has done?"



Does Captain DD post here?
It is rich hypocrisy isn't it? ALPA complaining about DPA using a non-union vendor? But ALPA tries to break its own union and none of the apologists here have a word to say about that.

Stunning.

I agree. On the one hand, I want everyone to click on these websites to see how ALPA behaves. But on the other hand, I don't want management to see more evidence of how weak ALPA is.

If ALPA would only try some of these tactics against management instead of fellow pilots, they might actually gain some respect for being a union.

On the money sent to National, your LEC money, and a ton of other things that DALPA uses are part of that money. I think that if a breakout was done, we all would be very surprised at how much of the 30 million this pilot group eats up.
Is that data storage to save the emails? Because who saves it now?

See? I can write things like that too!

Wasn't there an group of independent pilots who ran a group called "ALPAwatch" at NWA back in the day?


Give us some research that provides evidence of the claim, and then I'll give you due.

Correlation does not equal causality.

Your assumption is just as logical, but mine sure ruffled your feathers, didn't it?

Besides, how can you not be embarrassed by that ridiculousness on those DPA watch sites? I got more and more uncomfortable in my chair the farther I read on it out of embarrassment for the guy writing it.

I hope for our dues sake he's not on FPL...

Looks like it's too late for that.

Just because you can, doesn't mean you should........But I'd like to be in GRU ruffling some feathers right now!!!

Just as much as I'm embarrassed for DPA. (the little doughnut that shows up on the tabs and the address bar is pretty funny though!<--- does anyone know where the doughnut thing came from? I can't figure it out.)

I hope for our sake he, she, they aren't on FPL either!!

NO!!!! That was a rumor allegation by Clamp. There is no evidence to support that conclusion. If anyone has proof of that I would like to see it.
