Slick tie??? Yes & No ... my ALPA pin is on my jacket lapel ... I wear an association pin in affirmation of such to my employer and the traveling public, not to my fellow association members ... I minimally support our current "union" and it's apparent and demonstrated version of "unity" ... I would fully support a decert of ALPA, and the certification of a new union not associated with ALPA and the current UAL ALPA "machine" ... if we really want unity, we need to start completely from a clean slate and build a true union ... as for Brucia, I take it you are comfortable hiding behind the merger policy "fairness" sham?
