Yes ALPA is large, it’s has many members and it’s strength is in its numbers. Many none ALPA pilots have benefited from ALPAs collective actions. But do you seriously think that adding 4,000 pilots is not benefit to their ranks?
Aside management campaigns against organizing; I don’t know exactly why attempts to organize have been unsuccessful by ALPA or any other union for that matter. But, I will say it is to managements benefit, not yours that their continues to be no CBA. There is a fine line between good and good enough.
