I agree that is ridiculous. However if he said "hold the line!" and then your company (Pinnacle I assume?) liquidated, would ALPA face another DFR lawsuit? Far more importantly, what did your elected reps say about it? Did your membership vote on it, and how did they vote?

An ALPA pres witholding signature is extremely rare. It needs to happen more than it does though, particularly at the ACMI/RFP level. But even then, would that just mean the RAH or the non union portion of the SKYW "air groups" would just get it?

Some of this may be fixing itself from pure supply and demand coupled with poor industry management for well over a decade, especially recently. We'll see.

In any case, I wouldn't quit your job based on the elections going on at ALPA national. Besides, LM probably won't even seek re-election. At least, he has no plans to do so at this time.
