There are a couple of things I dont get:
1. Why you seem to be so hostile to everyone. All that will result in is you getting blocked.
2. My opinion only, as a realist, DALPA is going to get a shot at section 6 round 1, not DPA: DPA really needs to rethink the all or nothing strategy leading up to section 6 and marshall the troops to do some LEC and MEC policy implementation...or the whole movement will be moot. Think about it..
My man, I thank you for the unsolicited advice. But I'm not here to win a popularity contest nor to improve folks' self esteem. Having said that, we likely agree on 95% of the issues. But I will stick to it, "hostilely," (so say you); or "assertively," as I see it.
ALPA's dogmatic, national-centric setup is rotten to the core. We agree that what they actually can do, vs. what they try to convince us they can do, is completely at odds with reality. We've seen the obstructionism, insularity, and utter non-transparency as they close ranks. They'll hold tight to their fiefdom at all costs.
We don't have time to try to change a system rigged completely against us. It's like playing solitaire with a deck of 40 cards. Sure, you can try again, and convince yourself "it's sure to work this time," but your chances of success are nil.
