Also. Can it be just coincidence that ual and dal continue to blow us away with just about every contract the past 20 years?
APA is a broken association. Time to change it up. ALPA is probably not the perfect solution but at this rate I'm ready to give it a try.
UAL doesn't blow us away by any means. ALPA is a political animal all right, but for their interests sbove their dues source's interests. They're great safety advocates, but marginal collective bargaining agents and if one questions their ethics or lack therof, talk to a few former TWA pilots to clear that up.
