This cancer needs to stop. Regional pilots need to throw Alpa out on their collective a$$es.
Don't get me wrong, Alpa is great at the majors and lcc's, but let's not pretend for one minute they have regional pilots best interests at heart, they do not.
To replace it with what?
ALPA does what it's BOD directs. Elect reps who will effect change instead of trying to smooze the mainline guys into liking them.
When a rep put defending the 1500 hour rule on the agenda. It was the reps from PSA PDT and MAG that had concerns because they weren't getting enough pilots. Seriously, it was the regional reps that weren't wanting to make it a priority. So, who's the problem??
The problem isn't ALPA; the problem is who we all elect to run it.
