ALPA National has become sort of a "US Department of Airline Pilots".

Not really a labor union anymore.

Just another big Washington bureaucracy. A govt agency funded by airline pilots.
More aligned with NMB, DOT, FAA, NTSB, etc. than with rank and file pilots.
Don't forget A4A.

Both. Plus a complete lack of proper respect for the value of our profession. Moak and his minions (one of which is Canoll) accepted bankruptcy as a reset and set us on a course to accept that as the new baseline. They've ignored our input and decided on our behalf that restoring our profession is not possible and they have no intention of pursuing a restorative objective.

At Delta, we're still at a 34% pay cut in buying power compared to what we had during most of the 1980's, 1990's, and early 2000's. That's GREATER than the 32.5% draconian pay cut we took in an extreme emergency to try and prevent our company from filing bankruptcy. And guys like Canoll think we're just doing great. Moak says we have a "mature contract" and a radical overhaul is "not in the cards."

So, with Canoll as President, you can expect a continuation of Moak's beloved "proactive engagement" (which really is proactive appeasement since the company doesn't reciprocate). Delta has arguably been in the leadership position within our profession. That's why I say Canoll's election (and the continuation of Moak's agenda) is a very bad thing for Delta pilots and for our profession overall.

Sorry, but never heard of the guy. The other candidates, heard their position, received emails and know where they stand.
Who is this guy?

He's the guy who knew he was ALPA's next president so he didn't have to campaign.

Someone who clearly understands that you don't need to engage the membership.
