It's not necessarily laziness. ALPA national is a self-serving bureaucracy intent only on it's own continuance. I don't understand why anyone opens their emails, much less listens to anything they have to say on any subject. And yes, I do understand the dangers of the ME3, so I wrote my own letters to the WH and my Congressfolk. My experience has been that if you are counting on National you are fated to be disappointed. But, to each his own.
