All I know is that if DPA had a shred of evidence that this person was directed by ALPA in any fashion to do this alleged "hacking" (which I don't believe occurred and I believe that DPA f-ed up their DNS entries and then tried to cover their incompetence) they would have sued ALPA because ALPA has more money than a single pilot does.
But, hey, let's all jump on the crazy train and assume that DPA is correct. Let's say some Delta pilot hacked their website and posted nasty notes for a couple of days. How is my supposed future union going to act? Are they going to take his house away from him? Get him fired?
Everyone involved in DPA should ask themselves some hard questions. What if in the future you decided you don't like DPA? Are they going to sue you and take your house because you criticized them or mocked them? Seriously, a union is supposed to protect pilots not drag them through the courts. This is simply disgusting behavior.
They "won" nothing. They were forced to conceal the identity of the pilot that ALPA knew about (and I don't) because ALPA tries to protect pilots and DPA tries to persecute them. It's pretty simple. Why should any pilot be stupid enough to give money to attack a fellow Delta pilot in court? Who are they going to go after next? Explain that please.

the part i have a problem with, is when he said our contracts are...
"mature".
W. T. F??
To me, and most others, mature means; done, finished, not going to grow much from there.
We are still making less than 2004 pay rates, 10 years later!!
The companies are brining in billions, per quarter!!
Management's stock options are worth millions, per person!
We still have no retirment plan (if you are in your 50's today and lost over $1 million in db money in 2004).
Where is dalpa talking about restoration? Where is lee talking about restoration?
Is he at ed's birthday party...again??
He tells this reporter:
"the airlines are making money, the contacts are mature, i love it!" ??
Really?
Note to lee:
Pull your head out of richard's ass and start to restore our pay and benefits!!

Last year, a DPA advocate was trying to get me to renew my card. I told him no as I think the DPA will be worse than ALPA. He then responded that I should fill out a card anyone just so there's a vote. He said we should at least have a choice. Until there's a vote, we are stuck with ALPA with no choice. I respectfully disagreed with his logic. My point is DPA is desperate. The organization should just fold. It is obvious at this point that ALPA is not going to be decertified. DPA has gotten to the point that it truly is harming our pilot group. If Carl is dumb enough to throw money away on the DPA that he will never see again and harm our negotiating in the process, I guess that's his prerogative. I guess if I was a 747 captain at a legacy for 20+ years, I wouldn't care about ****ing money away either.
