Thanks for the education. I've learned a lot. Between Risch, you and Len Kelly I feel tons smarter on this important issue. Important for SO's as they figure out what to bid.
But, sadly, it will not end up on the ALPA site. It will go away for a year or two then a new crop of new SOs will have the same "irritating" questions for ALPA.
Who is this "ALPA" he speaks of? Oh yah, it's us.
You talk of ALPA as if it's some third party entity. It's not. If you're a member,
you're responsible for who is running "OUR" union. If you don't like the way it's being run...Then drum up 30% of the pilots here to vote them out. That's all it would take. Look at the numbers during our LEC elections. It's pitiful! And, it's our fault. If we don't like it.
