That is my point, but going independent you would be doing just that. Why would ASA, XJ et al work with DPA when DPA is the result of leaving the good fight and willing stating that they want the flying back all the while not engaging these pilots. Pilots who are in their jobs because of a cutout that the majors created?

Many would say to heck with it, and would do anything in their power to undermine your power base. Conjecture? Maybe but the fact is that they would not see any reason; financial or otherwise, to not do it. If anything ALPA is doing everything it can to keep these guys in check until we can recapture this flying.
