ALPA, at that time, said it was a non starter. Maybe they like you better than me, but they were unwilling to even inquire about pilots being treated like every ramper, gate agent, or manager.
You propose that ALPA negotiate pass travel priorities? I see it as a wedge issue. When the details were rolled out, 62% would like them, and 38% wouldn't. (Percentages used for illustration only)
