Any "Latest & Greatest" about Delta?
Good grief.
Today DALPA sent me one of their "True Headings" that they publish to counter the DPA.
I figure its another boring chapter in the on-going battle between a dying DPA and a paranoid DALPA.
But no.
If you cut through all the bluster and legal subterfuge an interesting tid-bit emerges:
Despite months of carefully worded denials,
ALPA has known all along who hacked the DPA website.
My jaw just hit the desk. YGTBSM. Holy federal felony, Batman!
Here we go again. How much dues money is this going to cost us?
This whole hacking fiasco that I thought was a joke, could suddenly become a serious problem.

I didn't read it that way at all. I took it to mean they had the name of the pilot who owned a private website that had cross traffic with the DPA website temporarily. ALPA said he was NOT the "John Doe" and I take that to mean that they do not believe he "hacked" anything, which is what was alleged. Directly from the comm piece "The Delta pilot who had traffic briefly mixed with the DPA website is not “John Doe,”"
Sounds like ALPA received protections via the judge for this individual pilot to prevent his name from being thrown around fast and loose as a wrongdoer as there is nothing that points to the person having "hacked" anything.
So, while I agree ALPA stated they knew who this pilot was since early on, I completely disagree that the communication piece indicates that ALPA thinks that this person hacked a darn thing which makes the entire effort by the DPA a circus sideshow. They've also been clear this person wasn't doing anything for ALPA, the Delta MEC or the infamous Special Committee as claimed by the DPA.
I believe it's still the fiasco you thought was a joke. It has the outward appearance to me of an attempt to get people to send Tim money to help cover almost 4 1/2 years of expenses. JMHO

I agree. Profit sharing should have been shown completely separate in my opinion.

If it turns out there was no actual "hacking" of the website at all, it'll be a $0 question and another waste of time and money.

Obviously, future profit sharing can't be guaranteed, but by all accounts, 20014 and 2015 are certainly shaping up to be pretty good years, with better than 10% profit sharing.
And where do you see it written that this profit sharing is "known and guaranteed"? In fact, they specifically state that profit sharing payouts for 2014 and 2015 are not yet known.
With all of the flack that ALPA has received for not being able to see obvious profits ahead when they agreed to C2012, now we're going to give them grief for publishing what may well be a conservative estimate of those same future profits?
Really?

I hope you're right. But I have to tell you. This doesn't pass the smell test.
I sense another TWA style "settlement" coming.
ALPA will admit no wrong-doing. But will pay the DPA a hefty sum of our dues money.
Its astounding that this stuff keeps happening.
If all that is true then why is DALPA defending this lawsuit?

As TC's pleas for $$$ from his card holders seems to be generating less and less income, maybe he thinks he can get some from ALPA. As I understand it, the judge is becoming less and less patient with DPA failing to produce any evidence of their allegations whatsoever.
