And wouldn't make more sense to be represented just by one Local? as a group.
For the most part 2750 and 1224 pull in the same direction. There are some disagreements which sometimes spill over into the public domain, but, ultimately we all have shared goals and a shared fate. In the long term we will all be a single entity (save for a chief pilot to maintain the Polar certificate) with a single representative organization and a single contract, seniority list, etc.
