Your claim is clearly self-serving either way, as ALPA can be viewed as "representing different parts of the pilot group differently".

If ALPA does nothing different in this surplus than the last 100 surplusses, then ALPA is biased against the IAH pilots and representing the other pilots differently.

If ALPA steps in and makes a carve out just for the IAH pilots then they are representing those pilots differently.

So you can claim you were right either way. Or you can bring up the base closure and reopening in ORD (which isn't even close to the same thing as a surplus) and use that as an example.

Enjoy living in your non-pin wearing ALPA hating existence because you are in the minority around these parts.
