Make no mistake! ALPA was not, is not, and never will be the answer for anyone who is not Employeed by United or Delta. It's simple business and you can't fault ALPA or it's members. As a business organization it's interests remain with the representing the parties that bring in the revenue.

FAPA was and always will be the answer for the Frontier pilots. There will be very little to no question that they will represent noone else's interest than the F9 pilots alone. The answer to the lack of funding is partially solved by much volunteering on the part of the pilot members to accomplish many needed tasks. This has been the same evolution of many young professional organizations.

As a former survivor of ALPA antics I am very confident of the great start the F9 pilots have with their new representation. The way it is run and how well it is utilized is up to them.
