All they (the govt) cares about is the flying public, and cheap tickets for them and their constituents. We are on our own.
Clinton allowed the USAir Mechanics and NWA and Polar Pilots to Strike. One was represented by the IAM and the other two by ALPA. I'm Not throwing stones at APA, but just maybe smaller independent Unions don't have any or near as much influence on Capitol Hill as National Unions.
I agree with you that the only thing our Leaders in Washington care about (Both sides) is lining their own Pockets! The ALPA PAC is larger than any Independent Pilot Union PAC (if they even have one) that I know of. In Washington, You have to Pay to Play. It is how business on the Hill is done......Unfortunately that is the reality.
