It is relatively clear that they are doing their research and getting prepared for contract negotiations which will not start until next year. As we get closer, I will expect more info to come out as to the union position the closer we get to openers.
It's not so much that ALPA sucks because they are not making public statements about the opener, but rather there is too much push back that began a while ago with "what are you willing to give up to get a 5% pay raise?"
To which the response has become a simple "ALPA." And I don't add that flippantly, it's honestly the response that stuck as people say "I don't trust you and I will not be your wing man."
You're dangerous (to me) man.
