And when you say "resolutions", do you mean specifically on the constitution, or even ordinary resolutions?
All DPA resolutions require a 25% block threshold regardless of what they are trying to change as long as it's "consistent with the objectives of the association." The blocks as shown on the DPA website currently have 1000 pilots per block in the last example I looked at. I don't know what happens if your resolution isn't
consistent with the objectives of the association?
