I'm a lurker (on this site), and yes, a proud DPA member! A question to the ALPA supporters: If ALPA is so great and wonderful, looking after "our" interests... (age 65 when over 60% of members didnt want it as an example) and they have nothing to worry about, why are they playing the "thug" role? Are they afraid?

Why cant I vote for the PRESIDENT of my union (let alone my MEC) One who is supposed to look after the members? What did ALPA do when companies started to get rid of pensions? We know that one. Do ALPA executives still get theirs? Why should they?

Appears to be just like Congress. One big over sized, bureaucratic monstrosity! Something that is very entrenched in its' ways, and nothing we can do about it due to its' "bylaws". The laws that keep them separated from the mass, because "they know whats better for us".

My thoughts only.
