Fear not, our CAL brethren. There is little support for what UAL ALPA has done for our own pilots since I have been on the property. The last thing most UAL pilots would want is a continuance of the ALPA leadership debacle we have experience.
Heppner I don't know anything about. We will have to wait and see how things work out. But he has been there a long tome and I find it hard to believe he was not part of the problem.
Want a good laugh? Next time you see a couple UAL pilots at work, ask them what the "hat switch" was all about.
I would recommend, if we do end up one, big, slightly unhappy family that we do a Saddam style leadership purge, and start over from scratch.
