ACL I respect a lot of what you say but unfortunately lately you seem to have become an ALPA cheerleader/apologist. You went from a guy who likes to connect the company info dots to a guy who it appears is looking to become a member of the ALPA machine.

There is no getting around the fact that communication from ALPA sucks. Dragon's mushroom comment is right on. Let me give you an example. On the north side when there was an MEC meeting we would get an update each day of that meeting. At the end there would be some comprehensive wrap up of it. However our com. chair refuses to do this because... well I don't know why. Then a month or more later the notes are posted on the ALPA website. Explain to me why we can't get a email with this information.

Also as far as the LEC comments being corrected for grammar errors, give me a break. The MEC wants everything passed through them to control the message. I have been told this is the case by 4 different reps from different LECs. Moak is stilling pulling the strings at this union.

To keep this DPA related I was told the following from my Rep. DPA has now in the range of 3000 cards turned in and South guys have put in more cards then North guys.

I want DALPA to succeed but if things don't change soon I will be putting in my DPA card and passing them out in the crew rooms. The best part, I am not a fan of some of the DPA guys, but it may be the only way to force change.
