3) if in the unlikely event they are elected they will produce far less and represent poorly the DAL pilots.
4) they will assess the DAL pilots to cover thier legal fees of last several years
5) with ALPA's future questionable at that point Lee Moak and boys will orchestrate a recall of the DPA leadership, get themselves elected and we'll be right back where we started.
6) it will never get passed #1
I've never understood why the DPA hasn't acted on your idea #5. If they hav 5,000+ pilots who would attend an LEC meeting or sign a proxy they could recall everyone and make Lee go packing.
Apparently the DPA loves the status quo. The fact they've done n o t h i n g tells me that the DPA is not the reformists they claim to be.
