And myself being a SUPER junior pilot (relative to the entire industry) I find it difficult to find ways that ALPA fights for me. But I do hope your right, I hope that ALPA, if voted onto property at SkyWest, will create a truly unified group that does what's best for every pilot at SkyWest, whether it be the 18 year jet check airmen or the reserve FAT 120 F/O. Unfortunately for the last decade, this has not been the way things have panned out at ALPA. Either way, I'll be glad when the drive is over, my mailbox is getting full.
Your ALPA rep will be who you vote in, ie your fellow pilot You have the power to voice your concerns Dont think ALPA is going to come in and change this and that, that is not what ALPA, IN the end YOU are the ones who will command change and you have the Coffers of ALPA to support you.
