You speak of unity yet you post of spending a lot of time explaining your differences due to history. Time to look forward instead of aft.
I don't think he was a green book. I think he was just anti-Carl kind of like Carl Spakler.

In the time between those two early out programs, nearly every early retirement was from an NWA pilot. Just sayin.
But with regard to DPA only using scope as a ruse to get the junior guys on board: Why wont ALPA kill this baby in its crib by coming out with a strong position on scope erosion? Simple question. Why?

If times were better I'm sure more guys would want to walk away, but times are not good. You're not going to go start a business right now or sell houses for fun or do whatever else people might have done prior to 2008.
It's amazing anyone retires.
As to scope, the silence has been deafening.
Notice who wants scope by the way? RJ guys. Because they know living in perpetual RJ world sucks. As much fun as the ERJ-145 was, I wish we had never gotten them at Coex. I'd rather flown props, upgraded and moved out as soon as possible. Now you've got guys going on 6-7 or more years as FO's on punitive FO RJ wages.
We're not pulling up the ladder we're trying to lower the loading door and get everyone on board and the quickest way to do that is not through an ALPA subcommittee on scope but rather just ending scope.
