It is a common misconception that ALPA will create better or worse negotiators due to international's resources. It is incumbent on the pilot groups to elect their MECs to set a direction for their negotiators. ALPA does have some helpful resources like costing or lawyers but they are not the main driving force.

3) I understand some Delta folks have been upset about AA not producing a snap up for us and given you grief. Having said that it's in poor taste to come on here trashing ALPA over FedEx's TA when it was Delta's TA that gave APA such obvious leverage in your ability to pattern bargain.
