Again, I understand your need to focus on the bottom. Keeps people from focusing on the fact that ALPA isn't at the top anywhere.

Again, I know facts are painful for you since ALPA is your passion. SWAPA is at the top of the heap in the pax world, and IPA is at the top of the cargo world. Moreover, because of IPA's seat pay, there is a greater percentage of folks at the top pay scale than at ALPA's FDX. No knock of FDX, you're a great company. Just pointing out that ALPA is at the top of nothing...despite johnso29's attempts.

Again, you look foolish by trying to deflect what is undeniable fact. SWAPA is at the top of the pax heap...not any ALPA carrier. But what is even more foolish, is the fact that you purposely neglect to mention that it was ALPA carriers that gave our industry the largest collapses in pay and work rules.

Ignoring facts and shilling for a failing union leadership isn't either johnso29.

This is a nice segue into getting back to the topic of this thread. Specifically, ALPA losing in its last ditch effort. But more importantly, ALPA's behavior that triggered this jury's judgment.
