Where were Teamsters defending the FTDT rules, or the ATP (1500 hr) rule? Or in the fight against NAI? I saw ALPA advertisements and the PAC actively pursuing those objectives regularly.
There is no comparison, ALPA is a better union for airline pilots. Both can perform the basic contract negotiations.... it’s everywhere else that ALPA is clearly superior.
