Are you sure that is the "official DALPA" forum? Some guys fired up their own Web forum, but it's not an official site.
FWIW, the ALPA National forum is still operational.

I contacted the DALPA comm chair and he said the new 2.0 forum was suppose to be up a couple weeks ago, but ran into tech difficulties. Should be up "soon."

Anyone here know Alfaromeo, personally? (Not looking for names.) Know how he (his family) is doing?
Thanks,

One of the hardest moments was the juxtaposition of cost and value. She just bought a house 4 months ago and while she was saving up for it she was driving my old car. Since she was a little messy, I was cleaning up her car before giving it to charity. I found this old sweater that she wore just about every day. I can picture her now wearing that sweater at the front door (it is glass) stopping over after work. It was from Old Navy and probably cost $25 brand new and was now worth about $1.50 at a yard sale.
So I have a car still worth thousands, despite it's age, and a sweater with no monetary worth at all. Guess which one I am giving away and which one I will have until the day I die.
The bottom line is I am shaky. Most people that have worked with me know that the tougher things got the tougher and meaner I got. Now I just feel off balance and trying to get my feet back. You could do or say anything to me and it just rolls off my back, but my daughter, that has knocked me like nothing else.
I hope this doesn't drag people down, but sometimes writing things down makes me feel better.

I saw your post and wanted to thank you all of the APC people for your kind words over the last week. Needless to say, this has been the worst week of my life. Both Delta Air Lines and ALPA have done everything you would expect and more. I feel like I have three support groups, my family, my Delta family, and my ALPA family and they all have kept me able to get up in the morning.

Alfa,
I'm not a counselor or psychiatrist. I really don't know what to say. Only that I can't even imagine the torment and pain you're going through. And if writing about your daughter or this traumatic event helps you grieve, then write all you want. And we will all listen as long as you need us to.
