I've been hearing this for some time from the APA. It appears that ALPA decided to get a conceptual agreement at all costs, disregarded any direction form LEC Officers to talk with the APA and then covered it all up.
This is what a ALPA Negotiator said recently about the APA recently on another board.
I can tell you for a fact alpa talked to apa negotiating committee for the purpose of working together. They never responded.
Someone is lying here and I can't find any motives for the APA to do so now...
