Carl - Why not? I'd like to understand in case any new hires ask me. ALPA actively recruits associate members while on probation. And they will tell probationary pilots to lie low, not picket, etc. If enough active cards are put forth for a representation vote, I guess all the names become public. Could a probationary pilot be fired for supporting alternative representation? Wouldn't violate the RLA in egregious fashion? No disrespect to your advice, just wanting the reasons behind it.
