What would be easier, recall the MEC or switch to an independent union. I was a big proponent of the switch from FPA to ALPA. Now I am having buyers remorse.
As far as age 60, NW pilots opposed the change. From what I remember FEDEX ALPA (Dave Webb) was one of the only guys who was after retroactivity. He was also totally out to lunch and ignorant on the FDA LOA issue. An old rallying cry around here making fun of old purple guys was: "I got mine pull up the ladder". It seems to me that saying applies to some of our ALPA leadership.
