there is a reason Delta and united consistently get kick a$$ contracts... because legacy alpa (warts and all) caters to the big 2 and fedex (big 3 if we join) with their massive resources assets and negotiators (much of which APA hires out for our own negotiations.)
It is not if but when the pilots of AA need to rejoin ALPA... APA is broken beyond repair due to the governance, structure and “stuck in the past” mentality. We need this change to snap out of the vicious cycle we’re caught in.
If EF and the current BOD fail in getting us an ILC in this day and age of massive leverage in our favor... then we’ll know it’s way past due.
