Nope.
Haven't been given any good reasons to encourage that behavior. I like solid information before I choose a path...In addition to the all around notion that I personally think it is a bad idea.
DPA wants to split apart from other pilots and the largest pilots' union.
Splitting apart is the exact opposite of unification.
Unification is the action that provides unity.
Unity is the key concept behind the word "union".
A union that splits apart is no longer providing unity.
The mission of a union is to provide unity.
A union that does not fulfill its mission is a failure.
Therefore the idea of DPA is a failure.
"Independent union" is an oxymoron.
