Well, I'm far from involved myself other than a vote, just like everyone else, but I'd hope with a new crop of leadership at DALPA that a new way of thinking may filter on up to National.

I just think repeatedly referring to it as ALPO does not help, and at the present it's the best alternative we have available to have any collective voice.

Do you think the teamsters wants to speak for airline pilots? Do you just want to pull out of the conversation altogether?

Bottom line, US has the best government that money can buy, and money and lobbying is the only thing that even comes close to capturing our governments attention. If you have some specific reform you'd like to see, please post, and I'd more than likely get onboard as well.

It's not personal, but in the end it's all business and what becomes of the profession over the next decade.
