Note it does not say 6 months prior to Section 6 openers as stated by hitimefurl and reiterated by shiznit.
Thanks for making that clear. It's important to know that the DPA would exceed ALPA's at a later date than some have stated.
Do you have any idea why DPA's dues rate would be that much higher since DPA wouldn't be supporting RJ pilots or a National structure some have described as "bloated"?
If those expenses are gone, and DPA is doing the same mission, why is the dues rate that high? I've read a lot of comments here from DPA cheerleaders that promise DPA will be more fiscally responsible, won't have dues diverted to other pilot groups, and will be more transparent.
Shouldn't there be enough transparency now to explain how a more fiscally responsible union that doesn't spend dues on other groups would cost us MORE?
