Basically aLPA is afraid of another union coming on the property and they have to show they are doing something.
I see things haven't changed with the pilots - still picking up time and trips for themselves. Also, they haven't had any alpa leadership with real backbone in quite some time.
Clearly management is in the driver's seat and will be for quite some time unless some real union leadership steps forward. Shame.
The FIN program made me laugh when I saw it.
