If ALPA is involved in it, ALPA will get 50% of the blame for it's failure. I am sure the company is more than ok with that.

I saw some ALPA uniform committee folks out and about in the school yard and I spoke to them about the uniform they were wear testing. They got their feelings hurt when being asked questions about it. They took offense as if to take it personally.

Some of the feedback I received was "I am serving my union, serving the pilots." Ok, I get that. But they are sort of overly invested in the outcome and don't want to hear the negative feedback about the Barney look.

So, as an institution ALPA won't look good at the end of the day.

and as individual ALPA volunteers those folks won't be happy that their peers aren't pleased with the entire boon-doggle. I see it as a lose-lose for ALPA and the volunteers.

Who exacty is the main company point of contact (accountable person), and who is the main ALPA point of contact (accountable person)? I think that's where the feedback should go directly. That's how to engage.
