Many of us have already mailed in our card. Last I heard the numbers were stalled around 2,000 or so. I am a proponent of getting 51% of the necessary cards if anything to see a legitimate response and team step forward from DPA, then a final decision whether to switch away from ALPA can be made. However, if that day should come and anyone on the team is a former red book pilot, significant credibility will be lost. When the fNWA contract negotiation team decided a junior fNWA pilot would have less DC than a future newhire at the combined company, credibility and trust was severally damaged. Of course this pales in comparison to the mid-seniority pilot that took an abysmal cut to his DB for a DC thats less than a newhire. I'm betting a DPA launch from the South side would've carried more credibility goi ng forward. Best of luck, for all of us.
