I was an MEC member at Eagle during the bankruptcy. I can say without any reservation that we received more help from the APA fighting the concession demands than we got from ALPA. To drive that point home, I will add that it was ALPA went full tilt selling us the concessions, carrying the company’s threats of being the next Comair as real, so do it or be unemployed. THAT was ALPA. Eagle (now Envoy) management fired 4 union leaders repeatedly just to get them out of their hair or a few months each time. One guy was fired seven times before flowing, another twice, I was fired three times, and another guy fired once. That’s how they intimidate the union into not fighting too hard. ALPA did nothing but get the jobs back. If that had been the APA and they wrongly fired your union leaders the planes wouldn’t move the next day, and the company knows it.
