Just as an aside...
all my contacts/acquaintances/friends that have any contact with the new administration, since the ouster of King, have told me that the NEW Administration really needs the old guard like Harwood, White, Hanson, Pinho, and others that are "So much smarter than the average pilot".

If these are the individuals that Donatelli wants to rely on...I pity our pilot group. I also now understand why King was ousted...the "Old Guard" were threatened by his attempt to get the DALPA organization back in touch with the definition of ALPA..."Bottom UP". We are now in a position of a "ONE-WAY" proactive engagement strategy with a management team that just loves the term with no regard for the actual definition!

God help us in 2015.
