I'm probably wasting my time because I don't think you care who DPA is, you just love ALPA no matter what. Love is a powerful force and you can't talk logic to love. But just in case, you certainly don't know if this is true, and you are of course completely speculating. But it doesn't matter. The people who are "pulling the strings" may not be the people that the membership elects to anything.

Yes...you're just trying to protect line pilots. From what...themseleves? You know better? The cards will roll in. They'll either total 51%+ or not. Til then..."lighten up Francis."

I don't believe you are for reforms. I think you just say that so you can seem moderate in the face of ALPA's inexcusable financial appetite and conflicts of interest.
