Being the little dog on the block would definately be to our advantage.
Seriously, or are you just trolling? Without commenting on Teamsters vs. ALPA, you have to look at where we are and the upcoming timeline. After the bruising election we just had, you really think there is time for all that would be necessary for a switch and another officer election? What kind of solidarity do you think we'd have at the end of that?
BTW, who are you saying is in bed with the company? IBT (above the airline division) or your elected representatives? Do you think your elected reps would change in a switch? My guess is the same people would run and the results would be similar.
Are you on a committee or just sniping from the sidelines? Now is the time to build on some of our recent solidarity gains, not try and tear it apart.
