Seniority Block Representation ?

If we ever grow, how would the DPA ensure junior pilots receive the benefit of experienced representation? Don't junior pilots deserve the same representation that mid level pilots deserve? What if at the senior end, it is difficult to find someone who retains the drive to engage in union representation?

At the end of the day, ALPA is a product of Delta pilot leadership. The DPA is not going to be substantially different because it is substantially the same. It repeats the same historical errors and follows the same political currents. But the DPA is much less experienced and draws from shallow resources. The representational change, if it happens, will do the same things with less efficacy. If the DPA knew "how to fix it" they would engage in just the sort of action Nu and TANSTAF advocate.

Who ever has the representational job, they are going to have to negotiate in an environment where American's contract is likely going to come under concessionary pressure and US Air's contract remains garbage.
