OK... first month on reserve for me, so here's the first of what will likely be lots of questions.

Where do I go to bid for Golden days???

This is exactly why the DPA has a huge chance of passing. Splash is ever so eloquently illustrating it and pushing the membership further away.

Here is a name that I am now grouping you under, Splash: Unionoid.

Enjoy! You epitomize it possibly better than anyone else I've seen on here.

Then tell me how the DPA is going to overcome your loneliness. Tell me how it will force pilots to participate. Tell me how it's structure will be different...how it won't be run by elected pilots who must weigh the sometimes counterproductive actions and narrowly-focused directives issued by its membership (those local resolutions) against their more-informed judgement.

Tell me.

This is hilarious. In one post you try to attack me by saying I'm not involved and don't vote. When proven wrong, you try to tell me that it doesn't do anygood. Which is it, Captain Arrogance?

New name. Old person.

Next!

Your "counterpoints" are weak and either require assumptions that don't comply with the Laws of Thermodynamics, or predict behavior that is not based on past performance.

"You" is the collective you.

For some reason I thought you'd get it.

My mistake.

Really...will you be clean by then?

To a guy who is too lazy to read previous posts and find the answers you seek (if you are indeed able to read), I'm tickled by your portrayal of other pilots as too lazy to vote. You seem to be dog paddling in the shallow end of the gene pool dude. Reading Is Fundamental!

I'm not sure that you understand the angst here. It's not pilot participation in alpa's life that is important. It's alpa's LACK of participation in ours that is causing all this. And again I will say that I personally have no problem with DALPA.. it's national that need a size 15E-to-the-head adjustment, and I have zero confidence that it will get one.

Thanks!

I'll call the Dept of Labor tomorrow and advise them DPA isn't a union. I don't want any of its cheerleaders thinking THEY might be one of your Unionoid group.

Wow, stay with Splash or join Carl... There's a Morton's Fork if there ever was one.
