They instead opted for a "Special Committee" funded to over $100,000 thus far that our reps didn't even know existed until recently, and nobody is disclosing who its members are. Even in their emailing called "True Headings", nobody ever signs that document.

Behave like a real union, and all other challenges to ALPA disappear. ALPA is capable of it...they proved it with C2K and the fight to stop the purchase of Delta by USAirways.
