I would never discredit ALPA. ALPA has done that all on its own. How is the contract coming along? Has Captain Moak officially asked the NMB for a release from mediation? Has Captain Moak figured out how many days of strike benefits ALPA can cough up if we hypothetically go on strike? Has Captain Moak figured out how to word the strike assessment justification to the express guys ALPA represents when Scope is clearly the big reason for going on strike? Has Captain Moak figured out how he going to explain to all of us why we have to pay an assessment for the $1.2 Billion TWA judgement against ALPA.
There certainly are some true believers left who snap anytime ALPA is criticized. It's almost like you are insulting Islam to these guys.
