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.

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

No, but I hear that they will require a reading test. Study up dude...wouldn't want you to go unrepresented. You are no doubt one of those guys who really needs it.

Seriously.

Two incredibly hard headed and argumentative whale captains on polar sides. Let's get them in the bar in NRT and watch the fun begin.


10 bucks on the groundskeeper.

I'm not at DPA guy. If you do some research I am for ALPA reform, or with lack of reform, out.

It might be interesting if the DPA used this thing called the internet and webcasts of their meetings in order to keep their membership informed. I can vote a proxy for any public corporation in America yet alpa is still unable to allow it's members to view a meeting via the web. In a base like JFK where the commuter population is north of 80%, I would think this would be important... but I could be wrong.
