If the Cares Act 2 passes we need to really start overhauling our representation by either recalls, or pushing hard for ALPA.
APA...ALPA...doesn't matter. Just switching to ALPA doesn't make a difference. It's all about who we elect into the leadership positions. If we bring ALPA onto property and elect the same kind of guys that we have in the leadership positions right now, then it's just the same deal, different acronym. I prefer APA over ALPA due to the fact that APA serves one airline versus ALPA which serves numerous airlines. Having said that, I'm extremely disappointed how our BOD has handled the attempted furlough mitigation. There were other options that could have been negotiated that would have had a much more realistic effect in mitigating furloughs.
