Do not forget it was fellow ALPA Delta pilots that allowed this and stood by and watched this happen, Delta's parent company was a major part of the dismantling.
"ALPA brothers and sisters", yea, right.
Midwest Pilots and Flight Attendants Meet Flight 210 Crew to Commemorate End of Legacy Midwest Airlines
As usual ALPA will give them a course on how to fill out a hopeless resume and application.
Look at the picture of the ALPA Midwest Pilot shills in the picture, they will all be given jobs with the mother ship for being cheerleaders. Intestinal fortitude is not part of ALPA training for their reps.
I have to say, I will not trust ALPA legal to write contract language in the future. All locals should have independent legal help to review all contract language... like Comair, Eagle, etc.
Overall, ALPA is a good association and has backed the Midwest pilots
(I think?) to the end.
Can't say the Teamsters are anything like I remember. In the old days, the Republic EXCO would have been told to support other union brothers or resign.
