The only threats that should have been leveled were at PSA and US Airways management.
This everyone for themselves mentality and "eat your young" that ALPA national supports is the biggest barrier to better contracts. There should be a minimum contract standard and instructions from National to all carriers not to accept concessions at all.
Instead ALPA National is more concerned with protecting their cushy 500K year a jobs then defending the carriers they are supposed to represent.
