I am not concerned about the past administrations. I concerned about the present one. The one that is supposed to insure that we are unifed so that we can attain the best contract we can.
Are they presently more concerned about their own interests, or ours. Are they fighting for us or their political survival? They have a lot to lose.
This is important:
DALPA and DAL have a close relationship that contain rewards. Kind of like rewards that governments provide to other governments. All aid money is dispersed not to alleviate poverty,
but to purchase loyalty and influence.
Think about that. Now we all know why FPL is such a third rail political issue. We can not succeed if we are not unified or have effective leadership. We can not be unified or led when there is question as to the loyalty and influence of our leadership.
I'd rather pay more dues money and cover FPL (with a monthly accounting) than have DAL in the equation. Think of the impact a change like this would have.
