That's what some Reps are thinking and it is very dangerous to our union ....
"They did not follow the rules they did not like, so we won't either"
That's anarchy.
Those rules exist to resolve conflicts of interest within our union BEFORE our union sits down at the table with management.
The central argument of the DPA is valid without those rules.
We want our conflicts resolved within our union, not at the Courthouse. Further, the Admin Manual language was the resolution of a class action lawsuit and ALPA is now in breach of that settlement agreement. That is not my dog in this fight, but I fully expect ALPA will be back in Court over this.
