ALPA also caved in on the 1500 hour rule after stating they were in complete support of it. I could go on.
Given the above, you might think that ALPA's money is being given to them by management.
Given what happened to TWA pilots and given the fact that a merger with AMR is a strong likelihood for JetBlue, I'd rather see you KNOWING who your bargaining agent is really working for.

You keep talking about ALPA as it's the only entity dealing with political issues. How about SWAPA, APA, or the IPA? Why are all legislative failures associated with ALPA?
Probably because they are the only organization within earshot of Congress.
