Those "facts" talked about going over the abyss. You were still flying RJ's lamenting about the loss of your longevity at Delta...the airline you weren't even hired at yet.
For the thousandth time, it's not apathy. It's the realization that ALPA refuses to change. Nobody has the time to waste trying to change an organization that will not change. There's certainly nothing apathetic about the drive to change from ALPA. If you weren't so hopelessly in love with ALPA no matter what, you could see this for yourself.

Carl,
You used to be a sort of voice of reason, but you have some a dismissive, sneering tone towards anyone who doesn't share your sycophantic "ALPA:bad...DPA:good" viewpoint that I have a hard time taking you seriously.
I do have some serious issues with ALPA national, and I don't claim that DPA isn't a possible alternative. But I am willing to "agree to disagree." In your universe, it seems as if anyone who disagrees with you is either mixing the ALPA koolaid, or is just stupid.
