Apparently alpa national didn't believe this. They blessed the pos contract that psa got. What was moak's logic behind that? He seems to think lining the majors pockets will result in more money for mainline pilots to negotiate. I wish he would consider that paying regional pilots more would put pressure on the majors to finally put some regional flying back at the majors.
