I look in the mirror and see someone who has never voted for a single ALPA contract negotiated on my behalf and also encouraged other pilots to do the same. ALPA national sends their lawyers to help negotiate these contracts and provides resources from the national level to help the local MEC. At the end of the day they also sign every single ALPA contract. Whey can't we put part of the blame on ALPA for that? If ALPA can't help stop the race to the bottom then what good are they?
