They've written some beautiful fact-based documents lately hoping to "educate" us on the process, our contract history, etc. This is proof that they have it in them. They ARE capable of it. But they WILL NOT do this with regard to Scope. Why?
You cannot minimize the impact ALPA's failure to communicate on scope has on the creation and furtherance of these Captain Clueslesses. DPA is 100% clear on this issue. It is why DPA is happening in the first place. ALPA could kill DPA with a series of Scope education letters, but they won't...because they can't

It is kind of damning is it not? Never a real comment on scope. And surely not from ALPA National.
As to this Captain, the thing that bothers me is you know the FUPM phrase. Half of it is directed towards pilots and the other half to management.
He may not realize he's saying it, but it's what's on his mind and in his heart, he wants to vote for furloughs if it'll give him more money.
