They can't possibly do that because they know major pilots wouldn't buy it. Their only alternative is to provide disinformation and hope they get 51%. If not, they can always choose the nuclear option of LOA without MEMRAT.

It doesn't matter to ALPA what they're screaming for, just like it doesn't matter to them what we're screaming for. It's about what is best for ALPA national.

ALPA national...by achieving their prime directive of membership critical mass.
