It is not an older v newer issue. It has to do with fixing a few issues here and there. Sending in a card and maybe even voting for a new union does little to fix anything. The reality is that you and every pilot would have to volunteer a ton of time to make DPA work. As far as I can see, pilots do not want to even show up for a LEC meeting or a DPA road show, and for that reason, I am very cynical.
