Look at APA. They have an absolute turdball of a contract; seems like proof that the problem are the pilots themselves, not the acronym they use.
If our NC brought us a similar turd and our MEC passed the turd on to us, we should be all in on recalling the MEC and NC. What would leaving ALPA do beyond that? Are you just one of those people that have an axe to grind against ALPA?
No particular axe to grind, but the secrecy, nepotism, excessive spending at parties, the virtual in ability to contact someone real time with a contract type question, the constant high school election antics, the MASSIVE loopholes in our contract, near zero ability to influence the company to actually operate IAW our contract, ceding international scope, allowing a 767 wide body aircraft to pay narrow body wages, no full pay for a day of cq, the failure to regain contract bankruptcy gives in 14 YEARS post bankruptcy, ALPA guys that once worked for us now on company payroll negotiating against us, the last TA1, charging dues off bonuses. Oh goodness, I could continue, but would it matter. ALPA would be fine with an entire re-write of its by-laws and administration. But no particular axe to grind.
