I think going forward it will boil down to which reps we decide to keep in and which reps we decide to send packing. Personally I would like to see a lot of "new blood" before C2015, but that's just me.
There was a lot of "new blood" after the JCBA up through recently. 1/3 of the LEC reps have elections every year, so full turnover could occur in 3 years... If DPA has such a "popular platform" then there could be reps in every base with the aim to fix the issues that they see as problems.
Could it be that 94% of pilots are actually engaged in the process? The 58% of the
total pilot group that voted in favor of this must see value in what ALPA is doing.
I think we will see turnover constantly, and I expect that everyone who decides to run and serve the pilot groups will do the best they possibly can for the pilots.... Just like what the current reps are doing.
