JUST A THOUGHT. I KNOW I WOULD IF I WERE IN CHARGE.
What makes you think ALPA members don't peruse these boards? I know for a *fact* there are some National officers that read boards like this and Flightinfo. Do you think they are so naive that they don't know the discontent there is on the line?
Why should they say "What do you guys think about _________?"
