Now that they have moved into bigger and better they are the guys I would trust to negotiate on my behalf because they will not settle and be treated so poorly again. Besides how is ALPA doing for you and your regional? Different backgrounds shape people lets not be so quick to judge and use each other's strengths to the betterment of the industry.
Fly, i don't think you understand what I was saying
Or I didn't say it well. I have no problem with lakers or their flying skills, or someone taking a job there. I'd have no problem with a Laker flying around my 3 year old daughter. I was just referring to the 1 individual who doesn't even work there yet saying basically "who cares what they pay us, I love flying!!!" Takes away from all the hard work that people have done to increase wages. But touché on the ALPA thing, which is why I said "union" and not ALPA
