I find this fascinating. Here we are just months away from the ability to begin our Section 6 opener. The many ALPA apologists and DALPA loyalitsts here have been saying: "Don't worry about there not being a stated objective yet...that's what the polling is for. When the polling is finished, DALPA will come out with their clear objectives and battle plan, etc."
If any of that is to happen, wouldn't you think that the current polling would be asking pilots what their priorities are in the next contract? Instead, they're asking questions designed to help defeat the DPA. My questions are as follows:
1. When will polling begin on pilot's priorities?
2. Will such polling ever happen?
3. Will DALPA ever clearly state their objectives?
4. Is it DALPA's only objective to have a "seat at the table?"
