Gloopy and Shiz,

The first step is convincing the leadership and the majority of pilots that real, structural, unity is something we want. The many details will be worked out once we resolve to recover our flying.

To get this thread back on topic, the best tool in any union's tool box is unity. The DPA has chosen to find "conflicts of interest" instead of realizing our interests are aligned. By needlessly being divisive, the DPA leaves their best argument and the moral high ground abandoned.

It appears to me the DPA started with an anti-ALPA position, then began exploiting a fasehood to create (out of nothing) a false external threat. That's all fine for negative politics, but, if they win ... what then? How will targeting a false threat get us better scope?

The DPA should make a mid course correction. Fight for unity and you will win the war, regardless of who is in power.
