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.

I hope that you are wrong. I know that is certain pilots in 44, and 20 get elected that a decent working relationship with your new MEC will be important.

Could be like the pie that my mom tried to cook last week- which turned out to be a cake pie in its consistency.

Quite yummy, actually.

Cake Pie, is that like cow pie?

Cake can be good but it will need to be thrown correctly
