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.
When have I EVER said that I accept any of this? EVER...

I know you. I have actually met you before on a couple of occasions. Like most of us on here, our forum personas are vastly different than the ones we live day to day.

Your constant mantra about giving up too easily is purely emotion based, neither you nor I nor anybody on this board have one idea what the openers will be. Actually, I couldn't care less about the openers, because I know they will be in line for attaining what the group asked for in the survey. I just care about the end product.... The WHOLE product. I know exactly where you are going to go after I said that, but I will let you fire away first just so I can frame the answer to fit your rant.
