I get the DPA emails and recently started reading them as my confidence in ALPA's leadership to RESTORE our contract is waning. JM's words. I supported him then because I believed in his ability and integrity. Now I question his willingness to achieve RESTORATION without giving concessions. QOL needs to be RESTORED too.
I've only seen "contumacious" used by one other person, and that was by an ALPA attorney in the DPA hacking case. It's in the court transcript I believe someone posted on Chit Chat, and maybe here. If imitation is the most sincere form of flattery, you are choosing the right person.
It's normal to feel uncertainty and a lack of confidence at the end game. Join the crowd.
Restoration has many different meanings. What is restoration for a 1986 hire is different than a 2007 hire.
