I've been saying on this board for many years that it's not the ME3 and Norwegian that ALPA should be worried about. With a UAL - Avianca joint venture who do you think will fly pretty much all new routes and all growth in that joint venture? The place that pays A320 captains $88,000/year or the one that pays them $250,000/year?

The Avianca pilots were trying to better their position. They deserve support from their U.S. union brothers and sisters. It's in everyone's best interest.
