Some strong words coming out of Atlanta from Kingsley Roberts about C2015, ALPA and DPA.
It's a long letter, I won't post the whole thing here - everyone will see a copy anyway, but this was about the strongest line:
"Let’s be clear, DPA’s efforts are a blueprint of the USAPA disaster and we cannot afford to repeat the US Airways fiasco here. "
Thoughts?

I think hitimefurl has been making some very informative post here lately about the lies of DPA.

[QUOTE=Razor;1473158]It is a strong letter and it's about time. I'm no ALPA apologist, not by a long shot, but it didn't take me long to figure out that DPA is a worse solution than what we have now. My favorite part of the letter, "This scourge known as the Delta Pilots Association (DPA)..." ![Smile](https://www.airlinepilotforums.com/images/smilies/smile.gif)
I thought it was a good letter as well. We need unity. This new group seems to be proactive about addressing it. I like that approach.

Seriously though, I kind of forgot about it. It is noisy though. And it spins like crazy! Buzz-saw indeed!

Wow. Great letter. Lots of strong words. Too bad they were directed at fellow pilots. Where was all this bloviating when we were getting our A$$es handed to us over the past decade?? Where was this line in the sand when our jobs were being outsourced to the lowest bidder? Where was the outrage when our pensions were being terminated and our salaries being cut in half? Where was the name calling when our own management compared us to Janitors? Why all the concessions in the rushed TA that you claimed wouldn't be compromised by the rush?
I'm no DPA cheerleader, but I've been here long enough to see this letter for exactly what it is. A squeal of despair when the bill payers stop drinking the Kool Aid and start asking tough questions.
Well, Dalpa, I guess we'll see just what those tough words will amount to in 18 months, assuming that you're able to stir up enough support to actually continue representing the pilot group at Delta. It's kind of a tough situation really. I mean, now you actually have some words to live up to. I'm thinking that if you don't, there won't be much left to stand on, will there?
