I think it's unfair of you to assume I'm uneducated on ALPA and our industry. I understand if you have misgivings on ALPA and National's actions throughout history, but I'm informed and I've made my decision to stand against unfair and subsidized foreign competition.

I understand that ALPA (us) treated many pilots unfairly in the past, and this post is by no means an attempt to lessen those pilots' legitimate grievances. But for this fight... ALPA is my union, this is my profession, and I choose to fight.

Nothing personal towards you as well. Regardless of decisions made by ALPA chapters in the past, fighting a common enemy to all of our careers can only serve to unite us.
