Maybe we do. I listed those items at ual that are far better than our contract here and those were just some items. Hotels, medical, premium, double-dipping during training displacement. I also forgot they get profit sharing too. 5hr calendar day as well. Again the only exceptions are reserve and their pay rates...but the pay rates will surely surpass ours so I didn't include them.

Their contract is not as good as delta but not too far off. with those items I listed above, that's enough to blow ours out of the water. When I tell my ual buds about our contract, they can't believe all the stuff missing that they thought we had.

I don't debate the point that ALPA does not represent regional airlines well but neither does APA or any Union for that matter. I totally get your bias against ALPA due to your time at AE but regional ALPA and legacy ALPA are two completely different animals.

Bottom line is that ALPA-represented legacy airlines have almost always achieved better contracts than our APA-represented airline. That fact is undeniable. That's a good enough reason for me to rejoin.
