I'm disappointed in you. This area seems like a weakness in the argument for DPA, and you act unwilling to engage on it.

The nut here is that we all know ALPA has flaws and weak areas. What we know about DPA is they would have some of the same flaws, and some new ones that we should understand.

Are you afraid to concede any of those?

If I'm wrong with the fact that ALPA dues have only gone down since you and I joined ALPA, then prove it.

If I'm wrong with the fact that we got a dues refund this year, prove it.

If I'm wrong with the fact that we've never experienced a period in the past 30 years that would have seen our dues rate decrease to 1% under the DPA constitution, then prove it.

But just brushing them off as my opinions without offering any sort of evidence to correct or refute them does your cause a disservice and puts your integrity in play.
