Based on its policy of supporting another labor union though its policy of supporting the hotels that are organized, one would see the consistency in such support. It would be dumb, but it would be consistent.
*I do not know how ALPA would answer that, but my take is:
AMR is unionized and isn't APA affiliated with AFL-CIO like ALPA? If not they are unionized and many of their other labor groups are AFL-CIO affiliated. The support as I take it from ALPA is along the broader context of AFL-CIO. That was the takeaway I had when I discussed the reasoning on the Westin Diplomat with a NYC Rep a few weeks ago.
