conclusion: something must be done as the regional airline industry and pay is growing and majors are shrinking leaving no pilot safe. From the most senior pilot at the most prestigious airline, as history tells us, those on top better watch their back too. I am willing to start a stand alone forum to discuss all facets of such union and even set up representative councils from other airlines. Possibly create a meeting somewhere nice, so we don't get to depressed and upset, to discuss. Why a new union? ALPA has failed us over and over and it's time for their reckoning as well. We need this to be as simple and clairvoyant as possible.
The statement about ALPO is the ONLY statement in your thesis that is accurate. As for the new union, with one seniority list and a different pay scale; been proposed, been discussed to death and
nothing has or will ever change. Period. End of discussion and to think that there is a possibility this utopian scheme might succeed, is "pie in the sky" dreaming. Not in this industry in 2012 !
