easy tiger. look back 50 years and see what alpa has accomplished. look forward 10 years and see what ALPA WILL accomplish. then come back and say what you just said.

what union or non-union or any entity at all could have accomplished anything at all after 9/11? not to mention the worst anti-labor administration in decades which made pilots powerless to do anything. dont blame alpa, the courts ruled against pilots over and over so what did you want them to do?

heres something alpa did for you in the last few years. remember jetblue's sneaky little experiment to fly 2 transcons in a single day with 2 pilots (with a 3rd guy in the back to make it legal) to try to prove the 8 hour flight time limitation in a day could be exceeded? they fought to put an end to that nonsense. but you probably dont care, you just like to badmouth them because times were tough. youll jump on the bandwagon in a few years watch...
