We all want a "real union". Unfortunately the ideal principle ceases to exist after the union matures and grows over time. They all end up the same as the ALPA we have now or they fade away with no power to wield. ALPA is not perfect by any means. That being said constantly trying to improve it and keep it as honest as possible does a lot for us as a pilot group nationally, more than any other pilot union in our country. Throwing it away to replace it with some new one with a new name.....it will end up like all the others over time but now with many lost years of weak performance and change due to minimal resources as it grows.
