One of many reasons there is a disconnect between pilots and ALPA Nat'l.... is.... IMHO, CEO Moak, should have chosen a UAL or CAL pilot to be the 'fifth' ALPA Officer (EA)..... but Moak's style is to circle a tight group of trusted yes men to operate in lock step... this is the opposite of Lincoln's Team of Rivals...... and alienates anyone not in the circle....

Moak it seems is just trying to prove to Anderson that he too can function in the corporate world..... and will take a corp job when he is done using ALPA....

ALPA Nat'l needs to figure out how to serve its members. And as well, ALPA members need to manage their expectations.... One problem is Herndon Staffer career protection.... I don't mean the 80K secretaries.... but the Dept. directors or wannabe's that put their own career first instead of our profession.....

ALPA Nat'l 's New Years Resolution should be... get the union and it's members back together.....
