A bunch of pilots and their reps did just that regarding the flight pay loss resolution. ALPA/DALPA killed it. I know you call that progress, but to many of us, it's just the latest example of how our opinions (and those of our reps) mean nothing unless they happen to align with the MEC bureaucracy.

Do not give me this CAPA garbage, they may get to show up, but when it comes to decision time, they call the ALPA guys because they know they are the subject matter expert.
Nothing about CAPA's actions have been garbage. They have a great track record and always appear to be fighting for the exact same things I believe in.

No they won't. That's pure BS.
