Because if they do, all they have to do is:
1. Put a physical card in each pilots file stapled to DPA intro letter.
2. Place drop box for cards in prominent location.
3. Wait for ALPA to do something retarded.
As is it now you have to somehow hear about DPA, believe that it is a real organization, go to a website that appears to be created by a high schooler, print your own card, and mail to some random address.
Pilots are lazy....which is why they only have 3000 so far. They would have 9000 if they did the list above. Which, is why I think they really don't want to win....just scare ALPA.....which is fine. Disclaimer-I have not sent in card and am not saying either org is better than the other. But #3 happens all the time, so timing #1 with #3 could be quite beneficial.

Forming a new union might be a lot easier.
Or maybe ALPA could allow us to vote for MEC Chair and ALPA President?

My last captain gave me a card with a stamp and envelope. It was easy. He said every FO he's flown with in the past 6 months has filled it out and sent it in. (that includes me). I am sick of feeling like my expectations are being managed, instead of being promoted for what I am truly worth. We are currently a BARGAIN for management. Show us some LUV (plus) ALPA or move over!
