I've always thought it was high but at $36 a year, the access to open time was like crack. I'm hoping I'm not a moron for renewing.

Your pay is indeed deducted for each day you personal drop. When reserve guarantee was 70 hours it was around 4 hours of pay lost for each day dropped.
I can totally relate to the open time crack addiction though. Wish there was a way to just get a pop up when a new trip is added to the pot. |

TC has said a few boneheaded things I will give you that. We all have when pushed. That said, for the record he has many times said HE is not anointing himself king (ala the way ALPA might) and ultimately wont be at the helm of DPA. Leadership at DPA will be elected and the hierarchy infrastructure will eliminate a lot of the BS "thinking and deciding on our behalf" we have to put with under an ALPA/Moak administration. Rant over. |

Unfortunately, TC is the face of DPA. So regardless of whether he intends to be involved post drive, what he says does effect DPA. Everytime he sticks his foot in his mouth, he decreases DPA's chances. And there are times he has done so without being pushed. Of the 5000+ cards, I would bet at least 1/4 of those were guys rattling sabers. And they likely no longer support DPA.
However, I think DPA has become irrelevant as a new collective bargaining agent, but retains some relevance as a voice for the permanently disgruntled. If DPA wants real relevance, they need to mobilize their supporters to sway DALPA internals because they are spinning their wheels as a new wannabe union. In that regard, they are irrelevant. |

"YUP them DPA are puuuure nonsense.....wouldn't touch it with a ten foot pole.....they lost all credibility....aint that right Alpha?" You got that right Sailing...". It's like watching Congress (who vote in their own pay raises) take pot shots at the private sector for being corrupt. The fact is a whole bunch of guys have sent in DPA cards.
