This would appear to support the idea of a national professional organization like ALPA.
Doesn't ALPA represent pilots that are in direct competition with us? and doesn't ALPA also most represent regional pilots?
ALPA's logic is completely flawed.
Surely they realize whatever post-ALPA lobbying association Delta pilots join (or form) will immediately gain a massive amount of money, and thus, influence.
