Delta Pilots Association (DPA)

[Diesel-9]

Anyone know how many are signed up? Hear that the company is interested in early contract talks. Rumor of something brewing (buying someone or somethings) and wanting labor peace for the banks and financing. Or could they be getting fearful of loosing control of DALPA (OPERATION BOHICA) to DPA. What would trigger a vote for a new union?

I think I read from another site that around 4000 signed up for the DPA, and another 2500 or so would be needed to force a vote.(50.0000001%) If the negotiations for the upcoming contract don't go well, I could see that vote eventually happening. I am pro-ALPA, but they do need to make sure we get a great pay package etc, especially with the recent profits. As far as mergers or expansion, there are plenty of rumors, but that's all they are.


Godspeed!

I think the more large carrier pilot groups that take control of their own group, the better off they will be. ALPA had it's time, and it's over.

A pilot union should be able to take care of their own, and when you have a national office that want's to take care of itself, you have a massive conflict, simple as that.

Internal organizations can and are quite powerful. And nowhere is this more prevalent than APA and SWAPA. There are many examples, like it or not, of those two organizations looking out for no one other than it's own......and that's how it should be!

USAPa is as affective as APA or SWAPA. We are making tremendous progress in industry standard contract and have preserved DOH as the bedrock for our industry. The teamsters are very impressed with USAPA

I gotta ask, did you keep a straight face when you wrote that?

I especially liked the part about industry standard contract.

The sad thing is, he is probably delusional enough to believe it!
