It remains to be seen whether ALPA national's legal team will take their typical "convivial/kumbaya" tone with management about the Section 6 implications of those new hire payments/iPad reimbursements, or whether they'll actually try to hammer the issue with the NMB. Personally, I'm not optimistic.

The unspoken directive from Herndon and the legacy skygods ever since the Comair strike has been "keep the feed stable--and keep it cheap." Not sure if we'll see that change in our lifetimes...ALPA national (which includes our legal/financial advisors) seems more concerned with preclearance facilities in Abu Dhabi than the fact there are scores of FOs flying 76-seaters who qualifiy for food stamps. I don't anticipate them or our MEC opening the Pandora's box of a section 6 violation on our behalf--too much risk they'll compromise the cheap feed us serfs provide to the legacy fiefdoms of UAL and AA.
