No, I don't think you misunderstood. I guess I didn't pay close enough attention to which post you were responding.

I wasn't talking about the ALPA National angle of this. I was mainly talking about DALPA and I was making the point that their lack of a restorative objective isn't based on them being motivated to achieve less but rather their belief that restoration isn't possible. Don't get me wrong, this belief they have RESULTS in a lack of motivation to achieve restoration (why waste energy try to do something you think is impossible?), but I don't think it's because they have some burning desire to hold us down. Our leadership (listening to guys like Harwood, White, Hanson, etc.) is simply misguided. That's the problem I'm trying to highlight.
