I agree. We do need to move on one way or the other. As I see it, we have basically two choices here:

1 - Stick with ALPA... which IMO means restoration (or even anything close to it) is off the table.

2 - Change to DPA... which IMO means we as a group have decided to at least TRY to restore our profession and our careers.

Either way, I've only got just under 11 years left in my career. I still enjoy flying airplanes A LOT... whether I'm being compensated for it appropriately or not. There are many things in life that are more important to me than money. So I can live with it either way.

The thing is... I've never been one to give up just because giving up is the path of least resistance. I'm also not a fatalist. And those traits put me in diametrical opposition to the guiding philosophies at DALPA.

In any case, I hope the vote happens soon so we can get it behind us and move on.
