I agree with this.
I believe the fear campaign that many are selling will work and DPA will not get voted in before contract time. ALPA will do just what we expect and come up with a sub par contract but will use some fear mongering/this is the best we could do to sell the thing to the pilot group. At that point, ALPA will have shot themselves in the foot and those who were on the fence will not be anymore and ALPA will be voted off campus.
This is my prediction.
