Of course, none of this means anything if we don't pivot into an equally clear approach with management, one that clearly defines what we need out if a relationship to call it constructive.
The real casualty of the DPA effort has been engagement within the union. Some felt that sending a card and waiting for the DPA to materialize is enough, but in fact it's nothing more than a letter to Santa.
4,000 pilots, really? Imagine how dynamic our union is going to be if just a fraction shows up at actual meetings.
We need to affect the ACTIONS of our union, and control it better, and get over this futile effort to replace the old boss by the same new boss. Especially when it's some if the very same people trying to get back in power.
The key to this entire thing is effective, intelligent activism.
Very well stated Sink, if the minority wishes to become the majority get out and work to influence change.
