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.

Haha what I find the most amusing is watching the handful of ALPA guys parrot each other here....
"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. Yes some were lookieluers and some let their card expire but there is still a boat load of guys sick to death of business as usual at (D)ALPA. I would say the anti DPAers should focus on cleaning their own house before pointing fingers. It's pretty messed up over there. Leadership can't even follow their own mandates one week to the next. The hostility toward DPA makes me think a bunch of ALPA guys are getting nervous their cushy lifestyle and gravytrain premium pay situation might be in jeopardy.
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.

Not to worry, as soon as you get your new Delta Sanctioned Tablet, you'll be able to get into Open Time any time you want, even at Cruise!
And scheds will be able to assign you a trip, any time -they- want!
Now, all you have to do to get a tablet is...
Bid the 717!
(oh, and fly gear monkey for Bill Lumberg!
