ALPA did the same thing to Eagle, sold them for 16 years while trying to gain favor with AA pilots for representation. Dont anyone ever mention union representation from ALPA, they look out for ALPA first and last, pilots are collateral damage.
Just a point of view with the facts.
Yep, that's why they won their suit against ALPA. Agreed on the worthlessness of ALPA. It's a virtual certainty they'll soon declare bankruptcy. Then, they'll really have no choice but to clean out their members. It's going to be a financial bloodbath for every ALPA pilot. When that happens, seeing as how pilots like to blame each other, I'll be curious to see if the anger and rage is directed at ALPA or the TWA pilots.
If you're an ALPA pilot, you'll be coughing up thousands over this.
