Management is management and has always reacted and treated us the same as every other person or group to hold the office.

ALPA's optimism or pessimism should not ebb or wain.

"We worked for various management teams for nearly 2 decades and they have never worked with us to provide fair conditions of service. In fact they told us we have to make a sacrifice to work here. Until we have an AIP, get your financial house in order".
