You may very well be right. I'm not an attorney, I am only passing on the info that I got while visiting the ALPA meetings setup at DEN and ORD. I have been to several of them and had a lot of questions. One thing that struck me as odd was the fact that most of the ALPA folks that traveled for those meetings to talk to us were current ASA pilots. I began to question why they were so excited about the thought of us becoming union. Eventually the info came out that I mentioned above. Again, I'm not an attorney, and its very possible that the ALPA guys were wrong.
