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.
But what about when almost the WHOLE MEC looks weak? The only council I am impressed with so far is SEA. I vote for the DPA with the SEA guys staying put. Everyone else looks like cows following the heard. "If LM says so, then we MOOOOOOO it....."
