Admitting you need to be part of the process to effect change is step 1.

DPA Member Testimonials page for starters and I can't get the search function to work on the DALPA site for some reason

By ACL....."Apparently the DPA constitution is being edited because of the glaring flaws that are being pointed out. It proves that its seat of the pants and they are in damage control mode."
NOW THAT IS HILARIOUS. DPA is in damage control? Have you read these forums at all? YGTBSM....now your just looking weak ACL. Really....

Your dogged persistence of making the "facts" fit the argument is commendable.
All of these items you list were also experienced by the independents of SWAPA and IPA. Only ALPA can claim the sheer number of historic collapses experienced by the airline pilots they represented. Just to ensure you don't think I'm changing the subject, here is my repost of Fact #2:
Again, I'm comparing ALPA versus independent union life in the exact same world experiencing the exact same disasters.
Yes, because all airlines are the same? SWA had NO exposure to SARS, the euro zone meltdown or exponential fuel price increases. I guess SWAPA was responsible for their company's hedging? The above is like saying ALL U.S. households should have taken the same financial hit in the Great Recession since they are in "the exact same world experiencing the exact same disasters.
Again, is this type of hyperbole prized in the DALPA echo chamber? When you talk like this, does everybody laugh? Just curious.
Ahh irony at it's finest. At least the DALPA echo chamber is a lot more diverse than your whale cockpit. How many junior or south guys or guys not based in DTW have you had the pleasure of working with recently?
I do feel strongly about it because ALPA is currently my bargaining agent, and they completely flip-flopped on this issue. Nobody disagrees with that except the most ardent of the ALPA rent-a-mob. And yes, I will be retiring at 60. It was always my plan to do so, and I'm fortunate that my plan has worked out.
Your plan worked out even in lieu of ALPA's 20 years of failures? It must be nice to be independently wealthy outside of this job. $500 to our respective charities says you're keeping your whale seat warm past 60.
