Who knows. Could be sooner....or later, but it appears it will come to a showdown eventually.
Remember, Einstein himself said, "The most powerful force in the universe is compound interest." The more cards they get into the bank (collect) the more pilots are out talking about them and ALPA on the line.
If ALPA is this concerned about this, why are they not addressing it straight up. Their methods to date are confusing because they just help to legitimize DPA. Now is the time for ALPA to take the high road and
s h o w everyone why they are the better choice. They need to listen to and react to the memebers collective wants and needs. Basically, they need to overhaul the way they have been conducting the pilots business.
