I'm not in ALPA now, but I was under the impression that the ALPA merger policy changed after our disaster. Am I wrong on that? If I'm correct, why did it change if there were no problems with the Nicolau award and the handling of our SLI?
I went to the ALPA dog and pony show that YOU paid for. It was a sight. They spent, I'd estimate, hundreds of thousands of dollars on it. Offered to buy my trip, pay for my room in one of the best hotels in CLT, drinks, dinner, breakfast and lunch. I went because I wanted to be informed, but I took nothing but a coke and sandwich because I didn't want to be bought. They had some really good information that all pilots should have seen. Had they not pxxxxx off so many pilots with the way the did it, maybe more would have seen it. I was told in that meeting that ALPA acknowledged that the Nic was a mess and the merger policy failed. They said it would change, but unfortunately there was nothing they could do for us.
The Nicolau clearly violated the objectives of the then ALPA policy.
