I see that as eyewash. If you do not like the people representing you, recall them. ATN pilots how shown how easy it is. ALPA will be the one getting this contract, so it is important you have people in there you can rely upon.

According to the communications committee page, 19 LEC originated resolutions were acted on at the last MEC meeting. Sounds like they are listening and acting.
Perhaps you should read what the MEC puts out instead of basing your views on here and the WB's

Somehow I doubt that - you'll probably quickly join the ranks of those who say DPA is not representing your interests

Making the Communications Committee publish the results of every Resolution is great. Now if we could just get them to e-mail all of that data.

Even better. As we saw on here last night, guys cannot seem to find things, like this page for example. It is not hard, but in reality that data should just be pushed to the pilots. Same for FPL data, etc.
I also would like to see a data file with all of the ALPA volunteers contact info available for download, and updated twice a year. It should be a file that can auto load in to Outlook and a smart phone. It can be just that easy. I also would like to see a calendar pushed the pilots at least monthly of all DALPA MEC and LEC ongoings so they could upload it the same way.

Want a better analogy? Lets see, the DPA is like a new union created, growing and supported because nobody has faith in their entrenched union where they cannot vote for effective change on a regular basis nor vote for those who are most in charge and who represents both mainline Delta pilots but also those at ASA, Comair, Compass*, pinnacle, Mesaba and Alaska.
Oh yeah, make it more of an analogy... the DPA is like a bunch of pilots firing their rich lawyer and ALPA is their lawyer telling them the pilots they're not in charge.

It's been leaking for decades. So yes, tear it down.
this is a nonsensical analogy made up to say DPA is nothing more than teenagers who smoke pot. Its just meant to be inflammatory, it means nothing.

How do you expect anyone to have any faith in DPA's ability to do anything if they haven't even tried to work within the system to change their ALPA?
I don't buy the it's unfixable crap. 3500+ pilots and you can't even write a resolution or recall a rep whose position you don't like?
Hint - there is a lot more to running a union than licking a stamp, hitting enter, and saying you've done your part.
In the vacuum of pilot apathy work still needs to get done, and if their is not adequate representative data decisions still have to get made with the best extrapolation available.
Unfortunately some have used this apathy as a pretext for dismissing what input there is as not representative. They need to go back to the line. The Yang of that is DPA is just another form of pilot apathy
