i'm not posting to play back and forth on semantics.
Dpa exists because people have lost faith in dalpa/alpa. There is no other reason. It is from this reality that i drew my conclusion that dpa supporters want to be alpa supporters - they have however lost faith. This has absolutely nothing to do with the dalpa volunteers who's goals for the pilot group are pure...like the sot or the bid monitors or any number of other groups.
It is clear that dalpa will be negotiating the contract. Everyone has to be behind them for that. If you cannot understand how we can have unity for that just because people have sent in dpa cards, well, i cannot help you.
However, the administration on up through national have a long way to go before they have my trust. I do not believe the motives of many among them are pure and instead are often self-serving or alpa the corporation serving.

Thank you FTB at least someone gets it. I'm at raw 130 for the month and it's been pretty miserable. Last week I was excited to hit a raw of 82 after sitting a short call, flying a 5 day, and a 2 day. I started my next group of days thinking ah this won't be so bad afterall. I was then rewarded with another 4 day and my 3rd redeye in three trips. Now I'm at 130 with only one SC in my pocket so I'm guessing scheduling would give me more SC's but alas I'm off to training for the rest of the month. But at least I'm getting paid right? Nope, 66 hrs credit.
My favorite was one of my Captains who didn't believe me that the seniority system figured into buckets yet....he's on reserve and an ALPA committee guy to boot. Great guy, great captain, enjoyed the trip, but yikes...bad info to be spreading around.

Talking to ALPA on the raw issue is futile. It's basically, "you're junior, this is the way it was, suck it up. You'll be senior one day." This came from a guy who's about 400 numbers sr to me.

All this does for this group is further emphasize our shortcomings in scope, at the same time sitting in the conga line in our biggest hub as our main competitor with rock solid scope flosses and flies 130 seaters that pay more than our 400 seaters.
If things were going rosy and there was hiring and upward movement right now, it would be easy to keep the wool over our eyes, especially the apathetic and "fence sitters" that just want to show up, fly their trips and go home. This kind of nonsense, especially as our large RJ's are maxed out and our code share "partners" as well as cut throat competitors are all growing at twice the rate we are shrinking and partnering with subsidized foreign ponzi scheme airlines with the capacity discipline we're gifting them is a far better wake up call than any union is capable of on their own.
This does not make me want any less in C2012, but rather it proves we need a heck of a lot more.
