Management doesn't lie awake at night worried about a united pilot front. We were united (for the most part) for a very brief time in the past and either a phone call or more likely a certified letter was sent to the Fort and a robocall un-united us instantly.
They have all the weapons and leverage and we have none. ALPA will not and cannot change that. Delta pilots have what that have in large part because their management team recognizes the value of their pilots. We and UAL do not because of management teams with antagonistic philosophies toward their pilots and UAL pilots are ALPA and in a frustratingly similar situation as us.
