The naive side of me wants to say this could be good, but the realistic side says it likely won't be in our favor lol. Not saying it's not worth a switch to ALPA, just that it's the same crap, different pile in this respect. Best of luck gents!
I hear you. Same crap maybe but better results. Possibly the adult supervision from ALPA national keeps each airline’s ALPA in line. Something is structurally wrong with APA and they haven’t fixed it during the last 30+ years. The results speak for themselves. ALPA produces better contracts than APA. I’m amazed by the guys who would cost themselves hundreds of thousands or possibly millions in earnings over a career because they “hate ALPA.”
