Of course not. But ALPA and your career at ALPA are mutually exclusive. Anything that threatens ALPA threatens your career there.
No, it's about scamming your fellow pilots so you can further your own ALPA career.
Ah yes...those famous "issues" with ALPA. The truth is that ALPA is the best mechanism for you to further your career. I understand your panic and frustration over this.

Seriously Carl, I much prefer to fly 12 day trips to Asia than to have a "career" in ALPA. In fact, having a so called career in ALPA is the furthest thing from my mind.
My goals are:
Get you and this group to realize that DPA or the like will result in negative gains versus what ALPA can do over the course of my career and in reality yours.
Get a great contract that my wife can stay at home on
Move to a place that is the best location for my family.
No where is there a plan for a career in ALPA. I fly airplanes for a living, and do ALPA work because I am passionate about our future. I know it is hard for many to not think about what is best for me, but I am of the school of though that if it is good for you, it must be good for me. Crazy, I know, but them the facts. So quit the character assassinations when you know they are way off the mark.
