Just curious how that works since it's not an official union or another way of saying it, it never took off...?? Anyone else wonder about this?
DPA was funded by donations not mandatory payroll deductions, I don't think any contributors are looking for a refund check. Did Hillary return all her donations after she lost?

DPA helped expose the way ALPA does business, and organized a portion of the pilot group to do something about it. DPA wasn't directly negotiating with the company so in that regard they had nothing to do with the contract; but to bury your head in the sand and pretend they didn't influence pilots to take a stand is preposterous. Exactly who started the orange campaign which was then adopted by ALPA?
