I agree with your later post that "legally" it will be difficult. Actually I think you and I share a similar cynicism regarding our government. The wheels turn slowly however, and as long as the dialogue can continue in DC there is a chance we can keep them out. (Auburn only had 25 seconds of life last night.. right?) If that dialogue stops as it would if Tim Caplinger gets his wish and ALPA dies, then that chance will more than likely die with it. So what then? APA calls for a SOS because they will then be the biggest union? SWAPA? Who will have the following to pull off a national SOS should that (and I DO believe it is an academic discussion) ever become reality?
