This is where we were supposed to be...
Man, I'd love to see this! The only problem is what is the true reality of something like this happening? - slim to none.
I just love looking at my ALPA magazine and seeing the words "unified" or "union", but when it came to regionals or majors going into concessions I remember hearing "well we are an association and we can't stop this". ***???? What ever happened to being a "UNION"??
Like one mentioned on here so many other "ALPA" pilots will stab each other in the back to get to XYZ rather than hold a line and set a standard for all.
If ALPA wants to really represent and stand "united" they should work to set a pay, QOL, and benefits all across the board. This is very difficult in itself and should have been established from day one, but then the only benefit of going flying one company vs another would be base or seniority movement.
Haven't heard talk about a "national" seniority system - that's opening up a whole different can of worms
