What eventualities? Excessively long Sec 6 periods?

Last time I checked, they do work for us. Can you prove otherwise?

Do you have evidence to refute that claim? And for the record, I've never referred to USAPA as highlighted above. But they are a dysfunctional failure. Their contract and refusal to follow what they legally agreed to are evidence.

Yes, & it's clearly been beneficial for the pilots. USAPA has been hitting it out of the park.

$1 million dollars is adequate access? And what's the interest rate? How much less will it really be when we factor that it? What happens when the lawsuits against DPA start?

We won't be against age 60 before we cave in on it. We won't be for the 1,500 hour rule before we cave in on it. We won't back management on Flight Time/Duty Time regs.
When was ALPA ever against Age 60? And I'm fairly certain 1500 hours is still the new requirement.

A great start? I think they are running a little behind their desired timeline.
