When the day comes that our ALPA reps spend less time on the fourth floor and more time in the crewrooms, other then on election time, we will continue to have valid peer-concerns such as these pushed to the side.
It's a microscopically-thin line between fighting a certain evil and becoming another type of evil.
I'm not speaking for everyone at ALPA, I know there are those there who genuinely care about the direction of this profession, but specifically I'm speaking against those who "work the system" and feel no moral abstinence towards double/triple dipping the pot for themselves.
