No, it's that whole giving up more 76 seaters which breathed new life into management's failed 50 seat RJ experiment.
24. ALPA is allowing AF/KLM Joint Venture Scope non-compliance through a poorly crafted contract.

You know better than that. We are not in compliance now. Even DALPA has said we are not and management has no plan on how to become in compliance.
25. ALPA cannot stop trading scope for pay because it benefits its regional members.

And who gives us all the information (or as I say, disinformation) to cast those votes? DALPA.
26. ALPA designated reps are paid 92 hours monthly for position they could hold plus a $1,500/$1,000 stipend. Super seniority.

It's 92 hours. And the claim of 87 as an average for line pilots is pure BS. We've been through this many times already. They came to that number by excluding line pilots who are paid less than 70 hours. Distorting figures to make your case is the ALPA way.
27. ALPA refuses to show the accounting books or officer names/salaries of offshore subsidiary Kitty Hawk Insurance Co.

It's true. Now I don't know if there is anything sinister in those books or names, but ALPA patently refuses to show it or talk about it.
28. ALPA National President received 2012 increase in total compensation from $540,408 to $576,968.

No, they didn't explain it. The LM2 is quite clear about what happened to Moak's salary. $576K is accurate.
