I think the ALPA rank and file were quite vocal, but if my memory is correct, it was ALPA President, Continental Captain John Prater who led the charge. Any assertion that "it was going to happen anyway, and ALPA just wanted a seat at the table" is resignation. That was within 18 months of him also announcing that we had to put "the scab issue" behind us. How proud we all were.
