All the donut holes are are a bunch of disgruntled ALPA guys that lost power and desperately want it back. No thanks.
Think of DALPA like a corporation. A corporation whose mission in its existence is to be an advocate for and promote our needs.
If what is being told to folks and posted here is true about our TA, then they have failed.
When leadership fails in a corporation in a significant way, changes are made in the leadership personnel. Case in point, JP Morgans latest multi billion dollar trading failure.
When it appears the whole leadership team has failed, much like bankruptcy, everyone needs to be replaced as this is largely what happens in every BK.
We are looking at a monumental failure. We need a complete change in our DALPA leadership. Only if there is resistance and the current leaders cling to power like African dictators would I advocate a change in bargaining representative.
Oh, and T, just how could any group improve on it you ask? Use a Wall Street bank for EF&A and a skilled labor orientated law firm and consultants for negotiation.
To bad we can't vote SWAPA in for representation, or can we ???????
