All 3 groups got played by not only Management but ALPA national. Research Chris Beebe US Airways Union guys and you'll find how ALPA lied to ALG, PDT and PSA. Trouble is, USAirways management was in bed with the AAA MECC (Beebe) to cut costs at the wholly owneds. Beebe didn't inform any of the three MECCs he knew the jets were already allocated to PSA. Had he represented pilots as a whole, all three wholly owneds most likely would have retained the united front, both companies would be at the same place they are today but with better work rules, higher pay, and less animosity.

We found out Beebe screwed us well after the SOB was elected VP of Finance for ALPA. Ask around to some of the louder PDT guys who have been around a while if they have the court transcript that basically says what I just posted. It's out there.

ALPA National has it's true loyalty and it ain't the Regionals.
