What amazes me is, why didn't these DPA guys get together and take over a council or two, or four? Then, once you have your boys in place, storm the castle.
Most DALPA meeings I've been to, had less than 20 pilots in the room! All the DPA guy had to do is orgainze a bunch of his buddies, go to a meeting, put up a motion, take a vote, presto-chango.
It starts with getting guys to put down their golf clubs and show up at an LEC meeting, that's the hard part!
