Your logic is fine, I just don't agree with your conclusion in regard to following ALPA recommendation on NAI. This is a bad precedent that they are setting and something that affects all of you at the regionals looking to move on to higher paying jobs.
Not too sure I'm quite right there with you on those last 3 lines, but I see what you're saying. I can't stomach ALPA after what I've seen and lived, I just can't. When a Union forces you to pay dues and says that they're there to protect you and the same things that they take away later on behalf of others, you completely lose me.
It's up to us then to either rot in an RJ and act like we are believing about that "mainline" carrot or find those higher paying jobs that will provide for our families by kicking our a$$ in gear and knocking on as many doors as it takes until a company is willing to pay a decent wage for what we do, local or foreign, and hopefully before we hit 65.
I'm not relying on ALPA to better my working conditions anymore, they already failed miserably at that. Fool my once...
