But to answer your question. You don't know me. All you see is what I post. I truly believe that DALPA has been on the wrong path ever since bankruptcy. I truly believe that path leads to a mediocre career going forward for all of us. That is my honest assessment. Whether we fix that by changing DALPA or by changing our representative association, I am optimistic that it CAN change.

To me, one of the most pessimistic points of view I can imagine is someone who would accept the kind of extreme, unprecedented cuts we took under the circumstances we took them, and then not expect to recover all or most of that after the "emergency" was over. That's real pessimism right there... especially considering the value of what we do and all the blood, sweat, and tears most of us and our families have put into this career.

If you knew me personally, you would find out that I'm actually a very optimistic, positive person. I have little patience for pessimistic people, or people who give up too easily. Which is one of the reasons I have such a problem with DALPA.
