Here's another question for you Carl.

What will happen to our ASAP program on day 1 of DPA?

ASAP exists as a tri-lateral agreement between the FAA, Delta and ALPA (not DPA.) Many Delta pilots have had their arses saved, after making an honest mistake, by the ASAP program. This happens WAY more frequently than the average line pilot would think.

ASAP is just one example of many of the programs that we all take for granted that will evaporate immediately upon decertification of ALPA.

Even if DPA is able to cobble together a program on a reasonably expedited timeline (unlikely given the multitude of other challenges that will present themselves re-inventing the wheel,) how many pilots will be caught in limbo without the ASAP safety net?

How many career-altering events will occur in the interim?

Who will be there to represent these pilots in front of the company?

In front of the FAA?

You argue that DPA can do all of these things, and do them better. What is an acceptable amount of collateral damage for us to endure as you work through a brand new organization's growing pains?

What if you're the one with an altitude bust on the day that DPA takes over?
