My voice mail had 10 messages today alone with guys calling me about the "lack of scope message" (and one from the "IA Machine").
You can bet if the leadership was onboard with the Scope message, that the CA/UA Arbitration would be front page "in-your-face-when-you-log-into-DALPA" news.

ok, I buy that. I do believe the P2P restart as a permanent fixture isn't because of DPA sentiment, but we will both have to wait and see.
DALPA isn't in the middle of negotiations right now, hence there is no practical reason to poke the hornets nest with in-you-face-when-you-log-in types of messages. I'm guessing and it is just a guess, that we will definitely see much more "fire up the troops" type things when it becomes a useful tool. Right now, "happy pilots" is useful in chipping away at BK contract issues slowly....Section 6 is when "unhappy pilots" become a much more useful threat. Because of "status quo" requirements in negotiations, there are limited options to inflict pressure on the company to act.... If I were in charge, I'd save my ammo for when it was going to have max effect.
