One thing I think we can agree on.....even if several hundred (lets say 300) of the cards filled out were the ALPA guys who keep saying they filled out a card to see what was going on out of curiosity and some were lookie looers...you still have over 5000 pilots who filled out cards likely with a purpose. That purpose is probably festering even bigger now given the "well get em next year" nonsense that keeps repeating year after year and level of distrust our current union has built for themselves.
Regardless of what those who want to protect their current position say here, a large group of pilots are entertaining a change. The movement has made more progress than even I thought it would...and it is still here now getting card renewals and adding first time cards.
I filled out a card, and there is no way they'll be getting a renewal. I'm not alone.
I felt the idea had merit at the time and was worth exploring, but 80 said it well that DPA would be worse, far worse.
Things are not perfect and the never will be. I'll take our reality any day though over DPA's promise of utopia. I'm always wary of those that over promise without ever having had to produce concrete results. The DPA bullet points you put up are admirable goals, but ive seen nothing to show me that the few guys running the side show are capable of executing even a smidgen of what they're promising.
