I've been getting tons of spam from change.org since signing the petition, along with a few thank you's from

Here's the full rundown on how ALPA has outsourced the NAI campaign. It's truly ironic.

I emailed ALPA Govt. Affairs and got a canned answer and talking points about NAI, Communications passed the buck to Govt. Affairs, and IT didn't respond. In short, they could give a crap about a bonafide concern that a dues paying member has with how they do business. That's the crux of union-wide apathy, ALPA has systematically marginalized, ostracized, ignored and alienated the membership.

I was at Boeing last week and saw the Boogieman out doing flight testing, this threat is real, and it's close. The apathy that ALPA has created has come home to roost, and that IS a shame.
