It pains me, but if you stick to what you say, I think you might be gone to DPA, as the RAH situation is (in my opinion) a lost cause....The use of AE out of LAX for a long, long time has essentially killed the ability to use the applicable part of Section 1 to give RAH the boot. We are left to suffer with what we have for now, but its up to us if we continue to allow it to remain weak. I'd ask you to not send a card, but you have to do what you discern to be the most effective course of action.

FWIW, I like Bar and many others want to see the use of an "inclusive" scope section (Bar's eloquence and clarity of ideas on it are extremely well written).

I too really, really would like DALPA to give us something to rally behind, I just think that strategically or practically this isn't right time. I mean what is so important right now that we can't wait? At this time, I believe that we WILL see a "call to arms" but I think they are keeping the powder dry until we are in Section 6 and the company needs a big "jolt" by the pilot group to push them to accede on the last couple of things. I just hope we hold together long enough to hear and respond to that message when the time comes.
