The problem is that DALPA thinks they hit a home run with the last contract. How do you change the mindset of an institution that thinks that way. Wish I had an answer.
You can't change the mindset. You have to change the leaders.
It would be a profound and largely unstoppable movement if organized well. In the age of instant communication, it's doable. Lot easier now in 2014 than 1994 or even 2004.
If those that supported change organized, it would be way more effective than the circus from Tampa and their hacker gate. TC lost all credibility with that. Who can take him seriously?
The only other event that would take the DPA off life support is TC's resignation followed by the announcement of a credible leader or board made up of credible, rational members.
TC will never hand over the reins. It's not in his personality profile.
