Hey FTB,
We are sympatico until your last paragraph. I'm reading between the lines a bit you list your C12 priorities as Scope, Pay Workrules. IMHO you might consider Scope, Workrules, then Pay. Without proper Workrules etc, Pay is almost meaningless.
SWA has good payrates, but their workrules are what really bring in the bacon. DAL C2K rates were very good , but my understanding is the workrules enabled excellent W2 earnings and QOL without being an Airwho..e and working yourself to death.
YMMV,
BG

Anyone know if DPA is reducing the count for expired cards? Based on their complete lack of transparency (can't enter most of their website unless you sign a card), I don't trust them to be honest with the card count.

Why do you even care? Send in your card and find out, unless you are scared of competition you should be OK by doing so.

DPA claims 3539 members now. They put 6500 as the goal although that's 50%+.
Agent Smith: "You hear that Mr. Anderson?... That is the sound of inevitability... It is the sound of your death... Goodbye, Mr. Anderson..."
Neo: "My name... is Neo."

If you're going to throw stones, try not to throw them like that 3rd grader writing those anti-DPA blogs.

The other major carriers members in ALPA are also watching closely toward the final award in the TWA DFR suit.
No one wants to be assessed for that gross misjudgement. Sad thing is, I can only speculate that the Major Contingency Fund/War Chest will be one of the first things that vaporizes and is monetized if the award sticks and the liens start flying. Once again, all rooted in vanity and greed

Don't know about expired cards but yes to people who change their minds. The membership total dropped by 17 cards in a 3 day period recently, but was back up by over 100 for that same week as new cards outpaced folks who changed their minds.
Without being a member, there is much to be read and seen to decide if you want to become a member. The stuff you can't see is stuff you wouldn't possibly be interested in unless you were already a member. It's a good strategy on DPA's part. For people like you who aren't interested, there is no reason to give you full access to an organization you have no desire to ever join.
Yet you trust ALPA after trying to bust their own in-house union and after what they did to the TWA pilots?
Ok then.

The card count will be meaningless soon. I imagine everything hinges on the lawsuit(s) if conversation sampling with FDX and UCAL pilots is accurate.

Thought I had a tough one the other day while I was jumpseating with an LAX crew. The F/O was already a member (bag tag), but the Captain was wearing an ALPA lanyard. I decided to bring up the DPA tenderly and with respect to the Captain pointing out my noticing his ALPA lanyard. He said: "Oh no, I'm already a DPA member...I just needed a new lanyard and these were out in LAX."
