The last thing APA does is fight for the interests of American pilots.
Should read, “APA fights for the interests of the senior guys that run it.”
I don’t know who or what ALPA fights for, but I’m reminded every day of how much better the UAL and DAL contracts are compared to ours. I’m pretty dang sure if we merged with ALPA we’d be the largest group there and would get to not only tap into what Delta and United Pilots enjoy but also have a pretty big influence on how ALPA is run.
You haven’t been here long enough. You’ll figure it out shortly.
