Ellen,
You seem fairly passionate about this subject and I sense a bit of a displeasure from you about ALPA(union) current actions or perceived inactions. You are just the person that ALPA and any other union pilot would want volunteering to make things better. I hope you can find the time to help make things better. There are so many out there nowadays that only see the problems but will do little to help fix things. You seem fired up. I am sure your local or national union members would like to hear from you and even ask that you help.
Good Luck,
