You still need to focus on this one as well. It's seen as clear proof of ALPA National's influence on this negotiation. Many have feared it, and to them this looks like proof.
Who are we to demand who the company hires. Perhaps we should require 35% from the USN or 35% from the USAF or from the girl scouts for that matter

This line needs to go on the next go round. ALPA doesn't realize it's paying for its own demise.
