In the contract airline world, alpa is pure bullsh*t. But that doesn't mean they are responsible for the other party to the agreement not abiding by the agreement.

You are too tiny and insignificant for alpa to care about what happens next, they get your money, helped with your current agreement, but that's it. You are on your own. Learn to apply the proper pressure to get what you want, its just that simple period.

I don't think contract pilots have it in them though. It's not that they are not capable, its just that they really don't care one way or the other. This forum is simply a place to blow off steam.

All of you- stop pointing fingers in the wrong direction, point them at yourselves.
