DALPA likes things just like they are. DALPA, refuses to embrace technology in order to get more participation. They will make excuses all day long as to why this is impossible. They do not WANT more participation, because then pilots would start asking questions. Stay engaged, but stay ignorant except for what THEY tell you is important. ZOOM, Teams, and various other platforms would allow them to hold internet meetings. Ask them why they won't do that.
As to your suggestions, an 'education' campaign would be an 'indoctrination' campaign. ALPA knows it all, get in line and vote the way we tell you because this is the best it is going to be. (Change my mind)
I'm not going to touch your second one.
Standing by for the usual apologists.
