It appears the Government Affairs Committee Vice Chairman for DPA has made a racist post on the Dalpa website. I Had no idea this person works for DPA but if you have read his past posts you really have to question how DPA could hire him. His latest racist post just continues his past trends.

That brings up an interesting thought. One of the big objections the DALPA faithful have against DPA is the assertion that a change at this juncture would result in a prolonged contract negotiation. If DALPA presents a weak opener (which I feel certain they will) and ultimately returns a weak TA, I think this pilot group might actually vote this one down, and then the movement for DPA would become overwhelming. At that point in time, it would definitely result in a delay getting our new contract. Not to mention what starting out with a weak opener will do to the difficulty in obtaining a restorative result!

It's obvious that DPA senior leadership has no problem using racial epithets, but I'm surprised that you think it's ok. What other DPA supporters think it's ok to use the racially demeaning terms DPA's Committee Vice Chairman used. Maybe we should start a poll.

Spoken like a true apologist for the indefensible. It calls into question that movement's leadership and committee structure. Was there any due diligence at DPA when they created their committee structure? Is their bench so shallow that they have an individual who would freely use racial slurs in his posts as a member of their government affairs committee? Is the DPA going to publicly distance themselves from this individual and his racists comment or try to sweep it under the rug?

I was offended by the comment too. But I'm also offended by someone trying to use the comment to disparage others to score political points. I think you owe the "DPA senior leadership" an apology.

The 3 ring circus freaks are really at it on the dalpa web site! You got racial slurs, others claiming its "my forum", the super religious guys finacial wizard calling everyone to the spaceship, and "dude" is a bad word now.
Sometime I can't believe these are grown men flying planes. They really are a silly bunch.

I wasn't able to be there, so I'll keep my comments until I see the film/reportage of the event.
