True. However, as much as I would like to see how we can change ALPA from within and keep them as our bargaining agent, things keep coming up more opaque.

Everything else aside, if one just follows the money, it is difficult to see how we fix that.

How do we get a majority of our dues $ working for us let alone 100% of them?

How do we firmly yet tactfully remove the silver spoon out of their mouths at national?

Right now, DPA is gone viral. It is everywhere you look even when you are not looking for it. Hotels, a/c, vans, even on the elipiticals and treadmills in the hotel gym.

If ALPA stumbles over 1500 hrs v 500, TSA, and the proposed flight and duty regs......DPA will become a contagion. They need to move quickly and effectively and quite frankly I have never seen quickly and effectively only on occasion.
