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!
I have been wondering that, and stating that for over a year. According to their leader, they want nothing to do with helping ALPA survive, of course that goes against the statement that they want what is best for the DAL pilot.
DALPA will be in place for the next deal and what is best for the DAL pilots it for that to be as good as possible. Trying to divide this group is a surefire way for this next deal to be substandard, and for all DAL pilots to have to deal with it for the next five to seven year. Not sure how that is what is best for all of us.
