You are clearly bitter about your misgivings with the DPA... probably weren’t a member or resigned at some point. What was it? A failed command or two ? Could be a number of reasons which will continue affecting you throughout your career. You’ll always be a bitter person no matter where you are.
Either way, the DPA benefitted the majority and achieved many good things for both the company and pilot group. The fact remains that close to 85% of the pilots stayed with them until the very end and were proud members. They offered the company an alternative to drive down costs which no other TU did. I myself was a member and I couldn’t be more proud of what they achieved. The DPA will always have my respect !
