When someone starts spouting “national” I read it the same as “lizard people”. It just misses the mark on how things get done. ALPA National is an awesome support structure, and an advocate for the profession as a whole. But all politics is local is true. Each group determines what they’ll accept. At AS, we’ve sadly accepted 92% for so long our management believes they’re entitled to it. WE have to change their minds. Not national, not the MEC. US.
