Now that's funny.

I sent in a card to listen the discussion, pros vs cons. Every time the staunch Alpa contingent call a fellow pilot a name because they have a different view point pushes me further away. You have Alpa leadership demanding that DPA is dealt with, like a bounty placed on the head of a athlete.

It appears that each time Alpa goes on the offensive, they direct their energy at name calling their constituents. If this is Alpa's defense, its failed on me and several others that I know. I used to be a strong believer in Alpa, even had a Alpa email address for years of work on a committee, while working at a previous airline. I am not sure Alpa national has their finger on the pulse anymore. Seems to me its more about self preservation at this point, which tends to lead to dire consequences.
