I have been gone from UAL for 4.5 years. In retrospect, I am more happy to be away from ALPA than UAL. I always wished we could $^$&t-can them all. I might also support that effort in the future.

However this is the here and now. In the here and now we need to finish the process of becoming ONE. That includes ALPA being part of the process. Any effort to derail that effort puts us all at risk of becoming another USAIR.

No matter how the ISL turns out, and it will not be catastrophic for any of us, we need to finish the process. Then if we want to vote the bums out I will vote yes.

I would like to thank the current "bums" for putting their differences aside and coming to an agreement for a TA. Without this all of our careers would have been decimated, same same the USAIR and America Worst pilots.
