To do what shiznit? To follow the survey results? Who will know what they are. To develop a strong opener? Who will know what our opener is? To let them use the hammer? Against who, the company or our reps?

You can stop that silliness anytime shiznit. DALPA will be the ones to take us through this Section 6, everyone knows that. Even the folks who have current DPA cards back the current crop of union leaders...they just want them to be union leaders. When you use this argument, you're trying to set up the reason why you fail the pilot group. You know, we never did achieve that "historic unity."
