PG isn't correct. You were correct in your multiple posts on the subject over the last few months. As you well know, those changes did not "sanction" alter egos by ALPA. Sanction only happens when you actually sanction something. You're now trying to claim that omission of something equals sanction. It's a poor moot court style debating point and very weak. Mr Moak's signature on the Pinnacle bridge agreement created an integrated alter ego that has never occurred within ALPA before. The old ALPA fought that stuff. You know that's correct, but those previous posts of yours are now proving inconvenient for you as you pursue your latest attempt at supporting ALPA national.
