After reading all the post on this thread and the one from TennStateLaw on getting rid of agency shop.......We need an ALPA board for one reason and one reason only....so that people have to put their real names on their posts. We had one at the last couple airlines I flew at and the whole "can't because of liability" argument doesn't fly.

Everyone benefits from the RLA CBA at any airline. All contracts have warts but the alternative....look at the wages and working conditions at non union airlines, they suck during good economic times and really suck worse when the economy tanks.

We need a FedEx ALPA pilot board inside the ALPA website. It would be great for the free exchange of opposing views and let everyone let THEIR views be known. But what do I know, I am only a second year guy..........here.
