I disagree wholeheartedly with this mentality. ALPA does not make the decisions. The MEC steers the ship...period. To say the union sucks at restoring pay and benefits is a way oversimplified statement. You don't just snap your fingers and VOILA...everything is done. The number of moving parts is overwhelming and the process is designed to take a tremendous amount of time. I believe all pilots should have to take a course, call it, Understanding The RLA-101. It would keep comments like the one that spawns this post from occurring.
