Great Post hitimefurl!
Good analysis of DPA. When I read through their periodicals and planned operating expenses, I got the impression that most of the information was based on assumptions. Furthermore, majority of TC's publications seemed emotionally-based and designed to scare pilots in staying with ALPA. Ironic that DPA officers are so keen on chastising DALPA compensation packages, yet they seem to be quite generous to themselves with our dues.
I'd love to be able to get behind an in house union, but until people like TC step down no way can I back the DPA.

Most companies are going to do what the government tells them to do.
The writing is on the wall...the goal, in their own words:
At some point, we will be dumped into the coming government healthcare system. Just as our pensions, our union leadership will support it; we will get some "incentives" negotiated in and told how good it is for us (while being told there is no other option).

Non-rev help folks. Going international and HK's are on the airport standby list... Do they upgrade them to Business Class? Does anyone know for sure? Thanks

Well, we're talking about health care and Delta's claim that Obamacare will cost another $100 million alone. Military retires who chose other options like TRICARE (which is now also UHC) cost Delta nothing. If you believe Delta's assertion, military guys are saving Delta big bucks.
But, military guys are probably one of the more healthy groups on the property, and it's possible that Delta would prefer otherwise.
Because, the health insurance game is all about assumptions, predictions, and actuarial tables, and getting the healthy plan participants to pay for the less healthy, I would think that Delta would be more likely to want military guys in their insurance pools because they would be the one group that would be most likely to put in more than they took out.
Just another way to look at it.

There is a +140 page version of their plan out there, but I can't figure out how to get to the link to post it.
Here is a 28 page "talking points" version of the plan they came up with for health care in 1989:
