It looks like you are talking about 3 different unions! You make my point exactly! If ALPA is a NATIONAL union, protecting the interests of ALL members from ALL ALPA carriers, Don't you think there ought to be some LEADERSHIP from ALPA NATIONAL in a merger that will effect 15-20% if it's overall membership? NWALPA and DALPA are "chapters" of the greater NATIONAL ALPA, not independent unions!!!
ALPA NATIONAL doesn't appear to be doing squat!
If you are happy with totally
independent carrier unions, as you stated, then why are we paying dues to a national organization that stands on the sidelines?
