Well I guess we could go to Teamsters. I mean GoJets and RAH have amazing contracts. $37 an hour for a 99 seater. Wow. Way to go. Oh wait, they did negotiate industry leading cargo rates! Oh....nope. That was ALPA for Fed Ex.

Great. Good for them. But airline management doesn't care if you go to a church program for substance abuse. You'll still get canned. Nice try.
Is the training department going to call your local church after you bust a check ride? No, but they will call your Rep who can find out why Joe Smoe decided to go to training two days after his wife was diagnosed with cancer.

Sounds good to me. Until somebody shows me a better alternative, I'm ALPA.
