Maybe not so definitive (just my own opinion); Thank your lucky stars that you two are not represented by the elitist ALPA! Among other reasons, IBT has more influence outside of airline industry which is just what you might need if/when the poop hits the fan.
^^Yup. I'm in the middle of a the XJT merger, 2 ALPA carriers and non Union SKYW. 7k pilots between the three groups and 4K are unionized. This place is whipsaw to the extreme. At least both Atlas and SA are in the same Union boat. I'm starting class in less than 2 weeks (Atlas) and I'm going to be optimistic about what this could be. I just hope both groups stay unified!
