Then even more egregiously, they promoted that absolutely inexcusable dumpster fire at PSA (*** were you all thinking?). ALPA should have been shown the door at every regional the next day for that BS... At least now maybe there is a beginning hint at a clue.. Then again I'm betting we will hear ALPA start supporting the multi crew license or Ab Initio, or even push for easier loans for new trainees.
This is 100% ALPA's doing and in the name of good pay for the pond jumpers. News flash their what 10% of ALPA's membership. Furthermore, 90% of you guys reading this will never see the left seat of a wide body. ALPA is not a union, its an association. Unions have one seniority list and a pool to take from. Until we achieve one list you guys can bloviate all you want about what were worth, were never gonna get it as long as management knows they can close down and start us over. PERIOD!
