and this list, can you make 4600 pilots read the email? and then do what? not eat with them?

my point? you ask

It is easy to pick things that we think are "easy or could be more effective" to generate unity like highlighting DPs or 4a2b issues but what about protecting min days off, vacation buy back, accepting a reserve assignment that is longer than your r days as the list of things that are contractually protected but could also generate "unity" if we all were in lock step on how we followed or not a CBA option is in fact a very long list.

ALPA will only do stuff they can legally do, period. ALPA can legally run a unity Campaign and ask that you wear the lanyard and pin. If you want to fine, someone doesn't ? well that is their choice. As others have said this is as much about an internal issue as it is external. We have to start some place and it needs to be legal and easy to do. If we can't get past a debate on lanyards I do not hold much hope for real issues, that will come down the road. Will a lanyard alone bring us the CBA of our dreams, of course not but you have to start somewhere. Lanyard and pin on, check.
