Not going to argue with that, but I would ask - why ALPA in particular? At the regional level, from what I've seen on other sections here, ALPA isn't universally loved and in fact a good argument can be made that ALPA is exactly the wrong group to represent any regional because it is a conflict of interest with their representation of mainline pilots.
