I guess one of Seham's attorneys was canoodling with the USAPA Vice President and they got caught.

Overall, it seems you can add USAPA to the long list of ex-clients for Seham. He has a short list of current clients and a long list of ex-clients.

So let's review his performance.

• Seham promises a new contract in 6 months, almost 4 years later, nothing
• Seham spends over 10 million in legal fees with no benefits for any pilots
• Seham has put USAPA $2 million in the hole and they are now thinking about assessing their members above ALPA dues rates to pay the bills
• Seham has left USAPA hemmed in by multiple lawsuits with no hope of a new contract for years into the future

USAPA and Seham have undershot our compensation by over $3 billion for the last 4 years. What a successful independent union! Please, let's be like them.

Seriously, Carl, do you have any thoughts on this performance?
