That's incorrect. Bates liked ALPA for sure, but unlike ALPA, Bates isn't the APA. The APA is a bunch of local councils, and many of them did not like and/or trust ALPA.

It was more than just a little internal shakeup. There were a number of APA local councils that wanted ALPA out, so ALPA quit because they felt they'd been insulted. Bates was able to turn it around and ALPA came back...until bankruptcy when ALPA quit again.

Interesting how you MEC bureaucrats stopped touting ALPA's role in negotiating APA's contract. At first that's all we heard from you. Stuff like: "Even APA realizes that ALPA holds the industry's expertise in negotiations, and have now hired ALPA to manage their negotiations. This is something DPA could never offer...", etc. Then ALPA quits twice, but you guys don't tout that. What a shock!

It's because I don't know that anything DPA has claimed is NOT factual. You keep calling it a lie and crap, but you'll understand if I don't consider your anger and fear based opinion...fact.
