Well stated Max EPR !!
ALPA is exactly that, a confederation of flying clubs at various airlines. The ALPA national "leaders" under Dwayne Worthless were such a self serving group that they forgot what "representation" even means. The were in Washington to promote their own agendas and enjoy life inside the Beltway. The ALPO "Federation" is getting what they deserve as pilots see the light and jump ship.
Unfortunately, the group at United did not have the initial success that U.S. Airways pilots had but they have not given up and are still trying to get the votes to de-certify ALPO.
