It will need to be no such thing. A DPA will be a very large union. Plenty of expertise in all areas, without the conflict of interest within ALPA. Conflicts that include representing the pilots of airlines to whom we have sold our flying.

You saying the outcome will not be good for any of us is your opinion only based upon factless feelings and emotions. Nobody knows what will be better for certain. That's why risk taking is called risk taking. It scares the life out of status quo lovers...but nothing is ever gained without risk. Nothing.
