DPA
 

What was the result of the DPA card count? Thx

They sent out an email a few hours ago to their followers that said 6860 signed a card at one time or another, of those 6860 about 500 are retired, and one third currently beyond the required 1 year currency.

They thanked a few donators, with one Atlanta MD-88 captain contributing $500.

They'll save whatever money they have left to pay for ongoing legal fights and TC's grievances.

On Chit Chat, Victor Loop's head is exploding as we speak.

So maybe 4000 active?

Not even that many.

Slightly less, but around 25% +/- of Delta pilots. It's a similar value of those who generally vote No, generally oppose ALPA, are generally right-wing conservative, etc.

We're a cross section of society. Nothing good or bad about that.

I thought DPA stood for Democrat pilot association.....

Most of the DPAers seem to be more hardcore Trumpers, while the moakies tend to be pretty hardcore liberals.

So far every captain I've flown with has been right wing. The DPA sympathizers vs haters seems roughly 50/50. NYC 717 were mostly in favor of DPA, ATL 717 an even split, ATL 7er has the most moakies who hate DPA. Just anecdotal observations from one guy.

If it means anything; from my recollection, NYC 717 was probably a few more civilian than military (and a lot more fNWA), ATL 717 was roughly 50/50, and I haven't flown with a single ER captain who wasn't former mil.

Feels like DPA is a cottage industry, not even a burr under the saddle.
