FV, I just say that there seems to be a certain lack of enthusiasm because I don't see any green bag tags in the Atlanta pilot lounge. With 800 guys in Atlanta signed up for DPA, I'd expect to see a bunch.

I agree DPA is growing exponentially, but the exponent is something like 1.02. Once the one year time factor is included after August, the exponent will be less than 1.

Slow and steady wins the race.

Severely good job? You mean like admitting running to management seemingly trying to get one of their fellow pilots fired over a humorous video?

Yeah...that's some "professional" folks I want doing representation.

Anybody think it's strange that DPA guys (including TC) got scholarships for their kids from Delta management and the ALPA guys kids....

They never tried to get anyone fired. But the ALPA guys who were paid flight pay loss to be at the DPA event to disrupt it, ran to the chief pilot's office constantly to allege wrongdoing on DPA's part.

You mean getting paid flight pay loss to disrupt the free speech rights of DPA members? I know this is you and ALPA at your finest slow.

You can do your own research, Groundskeeper. It's readily available on DeltaNet and I won't be posting a bunch of non-pilot employee names here. DPA's "leader" got extra from management. You determine the relevance.

Oh, here's the quote from their "after action"

Unfortunately for the authors, evidence was left behind that DPA was able to analyze and use, pointing to specific Delta pilots. Delta management was provided the evidence because the Delta brand was being tarnished and the videos violated Delta's Social Media Policy. Management committed to throwing the “full weight of Delta Air Lines” behind the prosecution of this unprofessional behavior. It is sad that careers may be in jeopardy because individuals can find no better way to respond to DPA assertions.

The folks you support knowingly went to management because they could find no better way to respond to their hurt feelings. That's severely professional?

Certainly not the behavior of anyone I'd expect to represent pilots.

Apparently DPA=Delta management's social media police.

Glad to see that Delta management gave DPA's leader a scholarship for his kid.

There is no relevance. None. What's next for you? Waving your arms screaming that DPA used their pass privileges or something?

Your ALPA operatives were paid flight pay loss from our union dues to disrupt DPA activities in ATL. Then these same paid operatives went screaming to the chief pilot's office numerous timers per day ALLEGING VIOLATIONS OF LAW AND COMPANY POLICY!

I know how important it is for you to deflect what the ALPA operatives did, but just remember this: Along with screaming to the chief pilots every day, one of your union paid thugs produced a filthy sex based video using the Delta Air Lines name in it. Another poor use of union dues.

But don't pay attention to any of this. Just pay attention to the SINGLE incident of DPA members turning over this evidence, as opposed to your paid dudes alleging law violations numerous times PER DAY!

LOL! You must be so proud, and management must be so happy to have your level of maturity to negotiate with. If it weren't for agency shop and the fact that you are useful idiots for management, you and your thugs would be long gone by now.

You mean the behavior of using dues money to give flight pay loss to guys coming to disrupt the free speech rights of an organization that has the backing of 2,700 Delta pilots?

DALPA apparently = We'll use your dues money however we want. Including trying to get guys fired by alleging violations of law and company policy directly to management numerous times per day. And as is so typical of ALPA...losing.

Agreed. I'm for helping any kid get a good start.
