*** are you talking about? DPA is not an entity that has any bearing on this negotiation currently. DPA may become a recognized entity in the future and I am sure will get some traction depending on the outcome of this ALPA contract currently being negotiated. But to even state or infer that DPA has a role, position or bargaining point is silly. DPA needs to get enough cards for 50% to send it up for a vote. That is the only thing DPA can do at the moment, until then anything being spawned from any entity other than DALPA is certainly hubris and reeks of the worst possible political mud slinging.
Before you say it, yes I signed my DPA card. At the moment they have no bearing on this negotiation only the next one if need be.
