ALPA does nothing other than to recommend. The individual pilots have to make the decision. So tell me again what real purpose the national association has? It is not a flamebait question, but rather a serious one. And then there is the last thing I highlighted in green. You say that ALPA has a responsibility... what are the ramifications of that "responsibility" if they fail to deliver? I'll answer it for you.. nothing because they are simply recommendations based on their judgements.. and they have no real fallout if they bugger it up. Nice gig if you can get it, and get paid to boot.
