Can I also ask the APA's bargaining consultants (ALPA) how they helped speed that process up for the APA?

And that has made all the difference Timbo. In my view, ALPA has only been able to exist with their poor performance because they've so successfully controlled the flow of information. The internet and blogs like this have changed all that. ALPA can lie or mischaracterize, and somebody is on them like ugly on a gorilla.
Now ALPA has to compete on a much more level playing field with regard to the factual landscape. And with 4,100 pilots signed up through the efforts of word of mouth and a sparse website, that should tell you something.
