I suspect you could find numerous pilots on both sides that are not completely happy with it. But I haven't seen or heard of any kind of great divide in our combined pilot group with regard to this. It seems that most of us have moved past it... unlike the situation at US Airways. So, to compare DPA with USAPA seems to me like an apples to oranges comparison. While the two organizations may share some of the same goals, I don't think overturning the SLI is one of them, and it certainly doesn't appear to be one of the planks in DPA's platform.

Your match does not include all of our expenses. How much has ALPA national paid to defend and settle litigation brought by and against Delta pilots and ALPA on cases that directly involve the Delta & NWA MEC?
If we have our own union, those will be OUR costs. Apples to Apples comparisons need to include everything.

Again, this DPA thing is not the same as USAPA, but there is likely some root in SLI dissatisfaction IMO.

And scambo, I really can't believe you're offering "majic marker graffiti" as reason to believe something.
Sigh,
