Then ignore the criticism and stick to your own statement - that you would hold DPA just as accountable as ALPA.

My personal fear is that YOU aren't doing what you said you would do...demanding accountability. (We're using the "y'all" context here, right?) I'm concerned that pilots will over-simplify the solution to ALPA's problems, and choose
Anything Other Than ALPA, without seeing the problem with the first word.

Now we're getting somewhere! Show me where DPA fits,
anywhere. To do that, you will have to figure out how big they'll be and who they are using to steer and advise them. Are there any conflicts of interest there? If there are, I think that would be "bad". You might not. It might be right in your
comfort zone having their lawyers paid 3 times what ALPA lawyers are paid. Tell me who their lawyers are, and how much they're going to be paid, and I'll rule on MY
comfort zone. Is that too much to ask?

Got it. A single issue is all YOU need. DPA could pay Kevin McCormick $800,000 a year, like AMFA/PFAA did, and you'd be ok with that?
The "layers" at ALPA are right there for you to see. You KNOW how much the President of ALPA makes. You know well enough to be pi$$ed about it, yet you can't tell me how much DPA's President or current advisors and managers are/will be paid...and you don't fear that?
ALPA has some things that clearly need fixing. I read discussions about them right here. I'm ready for some discussions about the things that need fixing with DPA. Are you in?
