I don't hold much hope on ALPA influencing that. Do you?
I hold infinitely more hope that ALPA can versus the impotent CAPA or a bunch of stand alone unions.... SWAPA doesn't give a rat's ass about it since it will never affect them, so there's any help out the window. (Same thing with VX, JBLU, SAVE and the other small domestic carriers)The RJ players don't care since they aren't directly affected... and we have a .gov that is bound and determined to give American jobs to whatever country is bribing them with the most toys, gifts and free vacations. But as typhoon pilot says in another thread.. they are just a "little airline" that presents no threat to us so I guess I am just being paranoid...

If for no other reason, THIS is the reason that we need national unity with a voice that is heard. This is deregulation in the final phase... world deregulation... cabotage.... Chuck Shumer wants it. Barry Owebama wants it...
