Look at the list that is annually published of ALPA-PAC supporters. Look at the pilots that donate to the Flower Fund, the Charitable Donations that ALPA gives, etc. Those total more than DPA has gotten since its inception and then some. The Charitable Fund alone donated over 100K grand in one instance last year.

Speaking of money it looks the the average DPA supporter really jumped in their to help their cause. The average DPA member level contribution jumped way up in the last month. From 11 dollars per DPA member to 12 bucks!!! DPA concerns me only because the company will view it as weakness in pilot unity and a chance to reduce the cost of contract 2012.
If DPA supports honestly viewed DPA as critical to their futures I would expect contributions with a couple of more zero's from most supporters. 12 bucks? Give me a break!

But give credit to pilots willing to send money to the DPA despite already having 2% of their pay and 2% of their profit sharing sent to DALPA and LM's ALPA.
The one thing to remember sailing is theyre asking for signatures and not trying to run a union yet. How much money do they need right now? And fwiw I've not been solicited for money by the DPA.
Btw,if there is anything everyone knows you're wiser with your money when you don't have any to spare.
Which brings up a question- does the DALPA war chest get transferred or not to the DPA if the DPA is voted in.
