No one has mentioned how ALPA sat on their hands while Comair put the screws to their pilot group. ALPA has a track record of catering to their mainline pilot groups while ignoring their smaller members. Listen to the Regional pilots, they will tell you how ALPA has silently stood by while watching the pay and benefits that the Comair pilots fought so hard for slowly erode away in the last few years.

I've always said that if you want something done right then do it yourself. FAPA may not be perfect, but it belongs to the pilots of F9. That's power from within. I hope we stay in control of our own destiny.

Best to all.
