There aren't enough volunteers to do that.
I've probably received a dozen emails from ALPA urging members to sign the petition. Yet, from what I hear on the line, most pilots have opted out of ALPA emails. Consequently they remain ignorant of the petition's existence or the threat.
When this topic (or others) comes up, guys always want to know how I know, and/or where I heard about it. 70% of the time it is info from the forum. The other 30% its from an ALPA email. In response to my answer, 70% of the time they badmouth the forum. The other 30% of the time they badmouth ALPA. There are a LOT of Marvins in that crowd. Ignorance is bliss.
I'm not a water boy for the union. Just interested in the job and where its going.
