They don't care either way about DPA supporters being back in the fold man. Any more than they care about anyone's support. The MEC administration feels they have the process locked up and they are there for life. They have a very effective political slander machine against any reps who stray. The new kid in ATL saw this during the recall hearings of Kingsley Roberts when he tried to perform as he campaigned he would. He was beaten into submission when the other 3 ATL reps threatened him with a guaranteed recall if he didn't vote in alignment with them. Now the new kid is a lock step supporter of the other 3 ATL reps.

ATL line pilots could change it all if they wished for the change to occur. I just don't know if they do.
