Why not?
Sad truth is that Ford-Cooksey is just one example of how ALPA is hopeless as an organization. In their attempt to represent all pilots, this lawsuit's aftermath puts obstacles in the way of any local union trying to do what they think is best for them regarding scope.

Once that strategy was pursued (long before Moak), ALPA began it's own journey toward an ineffective and conflicted organization. Not even ole Carl could change that. A new union is absolutely required.
