As for DPA, why do you think they will be different? After all it was the Carls of the world that voted to create Newco aka Compass in order to save their pensions. Do you think they will changer their spots?

If you want to change this organization, you have to change yourselves. Many of us have. The increased emphasis on Section 1 protection is a reflection of the rank and file and a groundswell of anger at the past mistakes. It is working. Not as fast as we want but it is working.

My capt rep called me the other day after I posted something on a social media site. I was surprised to say the least. We had a long conversation about RAH and scope in general. It was a frank, two way conversation. He admitted that prior to this he knew very little about scope and Section 1. This RAH episode was a huge learning experience for him. He did vow to get up to speed on this because that is what his members are talking about. He also said our FO rep is more educated on this.

Keep up the pressure it's working. DPA is not the answer. Their lack of organization and published plans proves that beyond regaining their own power, there is no plan.
