Weren't all the usapa officers pretty much the same guys that were alpa officers?m I fail to see the difference it would make. If someone sucks then they suck regardless of who they work for.

As a newbie that email impressed me. It's good to see someone air their inside thoughts who has been in the mix despite whatever backlash he might have expected. Found a lot of points quite valid.

Now, I'm totally onboard with a new 'Allied Pilots Association' representing AA, DAL, UAL, SWA and maybe even Hawaiian and/or Alaska. Poach the best talent from other Unions (and APA) hire/retain professional negotiators and *ahem* better lawyers, refrain from the bloated organizational pitfalls and keep it all at 1% of higher wage legacy carrier dues.
We do have really good people on property at APA, but we could really use the outside talent and, um synergies - of having a merged association.

There is thick irony in your continued labeling of those of us who are on the LAA as AArogant. Look in the mirror. I suppose the only thing that'll make you happy is if we all bow to the all encompassing superiority of everything USAirways, because if by God we disagree with your superior way of doing things, we must be AArogant.
How about we try to start thinking as one rather than two or three airlines.
