This is never ever going to happen. Too many industries in the U.S. rely on air transportation that all of their interests dwarf those of ALPA.
The blue-chip management consulting firms alone (Bain, McKinnsey, Delloite, etc) have enough muscle to crush this. Toss in the services industries and defense, and you have sectors that are multitudes bigger than commercial air travel.
