That’s a fallacy that I strongly disagree with, to assert we’re not alone infers that we’re together. After seeing the outright disgust and contempt for one another expressed throughout the TA process, there’s no way we’re together. Our union’s process and latest outcome have done nothing to foster unity or bring the pilot group together.

Further, for a guy looking to stick a gun in his mouth (or have a cop do it for him) SOAR is just a bag of air, untrained pilots trying to talk a guy off the ledge is a joke and possibly deadly. The compassion and altruism is well placed and I don’t mean to diminish the passion that the volunteers bring, there’s no doubt they mean well. IMO, SOAR is an unfortunate casualty of a divided union, there are resources out there, but they’re not under the ALPA umbrella,
