Even more telling than the sentence you quote is this one:

Dave Behncke just rolled over in his grave.

ALPA is now in complete partnership with management. Moakism is here.

I have serious reservations about the wisdom of going down this path but the membership has clearly endorsed it.
Maybe it will work. We've been really cooperative and given management pretty much everything they've asked for over the last few years. Hopefully they will see fit to reward us with a few contract enhancements.

What I'm wondering though, is why this new age labor/management paradigm should still cost 1.9% of my pay? It seems like we should be able to make some cutbacks to all the negotiating budgets and grievance staffing and strike preparations and contingency funds and a lot of other stuff.
