The smartest thing the Atlas and Southern pilots could do is to decert IBT and go back to ALPA where you belong.
BK and most of the EXCO are great guys and would have my vote even if guys ran against them. My issue is the infighting and calling guys out for picking up OT, it doesn't help anyone and just pushes guys away from the union. Our CBA is so weak the flying will get covered, might as well have guys that want/need the extra money, than have guys that want to be home extended.
