We at envoy spent the last decade that I've been here (so I'm sure for even longer) being F-ed by ALPA national.

They would rather hide MEC members abusing their fiduciary duty instead of fix the problem.

When I pointedly asked the ALPA president that signed the concessionary PSA whipsaw contract that undercut us and stole our CRJ's how in the hell he could justify allowing one ALPA carrier to directly undermine another, his answer was "because it was a contract improvement for them."

Voting in ALPA would be a serious, serious mistake. As much as APA may be screwed up, at least their primary responsibilities are to AA pilots and no one else. I wish we were that lucky.
