Wrt to the fpl issue what have your res said? I advocate accountability and recall if needed. DPA to me is a convent place to show anger. They may get to 50% of pilots sending in cards but the harsh reality is forcing sitting reps to change out the DALPA leader or recalling your reps to get someone that would solves the same issues and a lot more expeditiously than voting for an alternate union.
People like me see the same issues you do but for the logic listed above really prefer to take the action that fixes what we have. It is not an endorsement of the current MO.
Maybe in the next election cycle pilots will run with DPA under their name.
I think there is somebody considering doing just that and I learned that when Slowplay mentioned it but the post was erased for TOS violation on page 3 of this thread.
Also, if someone is DPA and runs and wins would ALPA have them sign a NDA? Seems like they could easily be silenced? Just on the logistics it seems it might be difficult. Could an elected LEC member refuse a NDA?
