BUT... that doesn't mean ALPA National influenced this to SWAPA's advantage.
What it DOES mean, is that SWAPA is (again) showing their true colors as they have in all previous mergers. They have a pilot group that mirrors the AMR group in self-centeredness to screw the merging pilots.
PG;
I'm NOT going to let you hide behind ALPA natl's little blurb in their merger policy where they say they are a neutral. Its a one liner. The SW group is extorting seniority here from AT. I have said all along that this sli was the test of ALPA's relevance.
If this is the joint position that will get sent to the pilots for a vote, I have to ask you or anyone; what is the point of having ALPA at all? aeromedical? (Which I beleive is getting spun off).
If alpa allows its pilot groups to be held at gunpoint and robbed by a little union that has "never raised the bar on anything" how can anyone say alpa is worth even having around. McFly...
