As a supporter we're not going to get off our duffs and do ANYTHING substantial to convince the pilots that the DPA path is better for them except we promise we will just keep talking and talking to anyone that will listen that ALPA sucks and that it is broken and we don't want to fix what we can in the meantime until we have enough cards to hold a formal vote. In the meantime we won't try to fix anything at all to help Delta Pilots. WE won't do anything to show them that the DPA that we support to do the bidding of the entirety of Delta pilots is even slightly capable of organizing and implementing positive changes. We will continue to complain though, we promise that."
Wildly swinging at shadows will not help your case shiznit. Nothing about this post has a single grain of truth. Nobody at the DPA will be baited by something so blatantly obvious as wasting our energies toward "fixing" ALPA by using ALPA's own processes. That will never happen. If it ever did, I would worry about how easily guys can be conned. You needn't worry though...nobody at DPA will take the bait.

It is indeed the goal. I can't figure out why you have such heartburn over that letterhead saying "DPA". Unless what you're REALLY saying is that you don't want to leave ALPA...for any reason.

Your prediction is already false. 25% of Delta pilots have already turned in their cards BEFORE the TWA verdict against ALPA came out. To claim that any more cards are only based on the TWA verdict is pure wild speculation.
