I don't fly for either US Air or America West, yet I seems to me that these threats by ALPA are a little hollow. The only thing ALPA seems to be doing is alienating a lot of their membership outside the US Air/Amer. West group. I hope it can be worked out for the sake of everyone. Having read quite a few posts on this and other boards, ALPA doesn't enjoy the support it once did. Strong arm tactics rarely work.
Anyway best to both sides
