ALPA is not the end all be all and the level headed memebers of the OC can attest to that. But in our case it is an necessary evil in order to fight a far superior opponent.
American Airlines is coming. How prepared do you want to be.
I will still vote yes for union rep, even if it is the mongoose. I am just not going to be excited about. And to answer the question about American, most ( including myself) have no clue if we are or aren't protected. As the 2 million dollar (supposed) fund for us won't last long with teams of 300 to 500 dollar an hour lawyers start eating away at it.
