Not to pick on you because this sentiment has been uttered by a few here, I struggle to see how the DPAs effort will affect DALPAs contract negotiations. There is no doubt that our next contract will be negotiated by DALPA, with that in mind, how does the threat of decertification change the out come on what they can negotiate with management? The only thing I can see it doing is let management and ALPA know that anything less then desirable will not bode well for their future. Management does not want DPA as much as ALPA. It seems to be in both their best interests to not upset the herd and produce a contract that satisfies the group at large. The DPA is a good thing for all, even if nothing comes of it.
