I truly believe AA pilots will be better served with ALPA.
The numbers of AA pilots will guarantee leadership positions within the national ranks. The money APA brings to the table is significant (in dues dollars).
The numbers and money brought to a merger would give APA significant leverage in negotiating terms with ALPA.
The bigger union would give pilots more clout in DC, especially considering a unified PAC. Also, we would all benefit from those within the AA ranks that bring their expertise in the whole spectrum of pilot issues. I believe it would truly strengthen us as a whole.
