The very fact that his name is attached to the DPA, publicly now, should give everyone pause. His deliberate mis-representation of our Duty Period Average (a different kind of DPA) was not a mistake. Jerry knows very well that our DPA is 5:15 for lineholders (not 5.) At that rate, it takes 15.24 days (not 20) to reach 80 hours, assuming you can't hold avg credit higher than that. He is spinning, promising, and saying anything he can think of to get guys to fill that card out.

I'll make it even clearer actually (and I'll do it in Jerry Fielding's real writing style) - HE IS LYING!!!!!!!!!!!!

He is right about one thing. This is a business decision. The decision should be based on results in the real world, not a feel-good, empty promise to make all our dreams come true. We will keep trending towards his "goals" but we won't get there with the DPA.

Now that TC has teamed up officially with Jerry, I will never consider renewing my card. That dream team has disaster written all over it.
