This is my second major...we definitely don't have the market cornered on union politics. Lots of us newish hires have not been impressed with this schoolgirl style infighting, but realize these guys are a minority in ALPA, unfortunately they're the most visible/vocal. The majority, do great work behind the scenes and have no part in what you're seeing here. On the line, this political BS isn't even a topic of discussion.
Don't let this sway your mind on whether to come here or not. Everyone I work with has been great and upbeat. Unfortunately, there will always be those who will never be happy, as well as those who love the political game. Just remember, never trust a pilot in a suit...
