No....that's the way the company should be thinking.

I want my agent to expend its efforts figuring out how to make us more money...not convincing us we need to seek less in order to subsidize the dividend/executives' bonuses/next aircraft order/etc.

Perhaps Bob Wiley is an agent provocateur planted here by the DPA to make ALPA look even more buffoonish. If so, I don't approve of that tactic. There are enough ALPA operatives here without sending in another clown. (paging Rather B. Fishin and his phallic fixation).

However, Wiley's tone-deafness is ALPA writ large. He probably believes every nocturnal emission from his keyboard.
