You've proved nothing but your ability to state your blatantly false opinion.
ALPA legal representing us and the pilots of our direct regional competitors is the very definition of a conflict of interest. ALPA legal could be sued and even be convicted of a crime were it not for one thing: ALPA legal's defense would be that all ALPA members already know that they represent all sides, and as such, it amounts to "informed consent". With the claim of informed consent, a clear conflict of interest can be allowed in certain cases.
There is no question that ALPA legal operates in a conflict of interest. But in this case of informed consent, this conflict of interest is probably legal.
