I've been wrong in the past (there was that time back in '97, when I thought I was wrong, but I was actually right

), and I could be wrong here too, but don't we avail ourselves of all of ALPA's resources, including their professional negotiators and contract attorneys, when our negotiating committee negotiates something?? If we don't use them directly, do we not at least pass these documents to them for their comment and recommendations?? I'm hoping the answers to the above is a resounding "YES."
