As APA performs its due diligence and formulates next steps, we encourage you to likewise
review the details of the United pilots’ AIP.
Thank you for your continued engagement and support. We will update you as appropriate."
Here's the next step. APA begs Isom to match UA and DAL payrates. Done. Zero lifting. Yet another missed opportunity for AA pilots to raise the bar, which is what pattern bargaining is all about.
Stay far away from ALPA. We don't want you.
