But the best is not enough for you. You want MEC web sites to be on par with the largest most successful e-Commerce site on the planet. Got it. Like I said there is no pleasing some people especially those who simply don't like unions.

No, what is inaccurate and ridiculous is to think we would make anything close to what we do with only a few pilot volunteers negotiating for us. That is why the APA just re-upped for ALPA E&FA services.

The reason ALPA is so successful is the whole package. MEC independence with all the services: ALPA-PAC, Governmental Affairs, AFL-CIO affiliation, E&FA, Air Safety, etc. and the many pilot volunteers who having seen behind the curtain will tell you that you simply don't understand how the game works or how uneven the playing field is against union labor.

Love the focus on the big picture.
