Everyone talks about ALPA as if it is some group of people who aren't pilots from the companies they represent. Stuff happens and the union tried to deal with it as best it can. Just cause you and I don't like it doesn't mean that ALPA created it.

When the ME carriers come into the US and undermine every international route they can get their nose into, will you post that it was ALPA who let the ME carriers into the US market without any quid pro quo?
A breath of common sense. As a former LEC chairman I wish I could have represented a council made up of pilots like you.
