I do think that mindset has a good chance of changing in the coming years, perhaps starting with the current elections.

Compass' unique lack of "lifers" represents an opportunity for DL guys to actually align their interests with DCI so we're all working towards the same goal rather than fighting over scraps.

I think you're about right.
You'll have to wait til Moak is gone for DALPA to refocus on scope issues.
We'll see what happens tomorrow. If Parker and Deist and the other Moak people get elected then it will be status quo for quite a while.
