No chance of that Timbo. None. The RLA in its current form is absolutely perfect for ALPA national because it allows ALPA national the excuse to never take any risk. ALPA national is essentially a sham insurance company. They live to collect premiums (our union dues), then do everything they can to remove any risk to them. Strikes represent cost and risk to ALPA and the RLA excuse is perfect. It's a marriage made in heaven.
