You act like its going to put the big 3 out of business. It's not. Quit placating us.

"ALPA is fighting for your future"

Alpa is an evil organization that must be disbanded altogether. Alpa only cares about alpa. They steal our dues while stepping on our necks. Eating steak and lobster while negotiated sh|tty contracts, letting the incompetent locals run amuck. Further, alpa doesn't take the temperature of the room before speaking on pilots behalf.

When Alpa needs something, we are a union. When alpa tries to distance itself, they claim thats what the local wanted.

I'm glad all this came up though, I have written my Congressmen and Senators about an hour ago and told them only certain pilots are against NAI, but at the regional level, where Congress knows we struggle to put food on the table, we support NAI and welcome them into our aviation family. We are looking forward to any employment that their presence brings. It will be good for the American worker, their families, and general competition overall.
