DPA's own time line states they need to have the cards to call for a vote no later then 1 Jan 11 to properly represent the pilots in the new contract. I assume next week we will have a announcement from DPA. We have the cards and are calling for a election or we do not and are withdrawing from the process.
Even if they have the cards now I find it almost a fantasy that they can put together a new union and the infrastructure into place in DC needed for this contract in the amount of time they now have. Dues structure will have to be very high to try and support such a short time line and get things started.
