Are you clueless? That doesn't work if ALPA national doesn't have some sort of guidelines for all ALPA groups to follow in order to not lower the bar. Otherwise, you will always have PSA types lowering the bar at the thought of a quick upgrade. Yes, pilots voting in this crap are at fault. However, it starts with national. If they don't allow the concessionary crap, management has no leverage in the first place.
