It is very exciting.
Regarding the DPA constitution, I'd like to request that the mob please list exactly what items from the DPA constitution have been edited or change from the original document. Please list the original wording, then the changes to that wording. We can discuss them one at at time.

This is another "DPA improvement" ??? All ALPA documents have track changes and dates of publication. The DPA constitution was changed last week to reflect what you said was a clarification when in reality it hasn't. If you logged on today you'd have no idea what's changed it would be as if it has always been up there and that's because in addition to not indicating dates of publication or track changes the DPA also blocks Google from caching the site. It even blocks us from embedding images on here. The only way I can show you the changes is to show you any existing document I already saved and then you'd probably just say it was a lie anyway because I couldn't prove it was ever published. The DPA can just change it's website and make anything go away with one keystroke and turn anyone of us into a liar. Brilliant!
How about some other great DPA
proclamations that are still on the website like
ALPA Leaders Decide to Raise Dues on Members by October 2012 when the reality is that ALPA actually lowered dues for Delta pilots? When is the DPA going to explain that?
