I know you don’t care for DALPA and you certainly have your reasons. And I don’t think ALPA is some magical savior for the AA pilot group. But the problems we have with ALPA at both Delta and United quite frankly pale in comparison to the absolute asshattery that occurs within APA. Change starts with the pilots overwhelmingly rejecting the clowns at APA and sending them packing in the clown car they showed up in.

Look at United… They’re a prime example of a labor organization in upheaval when their former Chairman Insler was ousted and they started cleaning house. And despite the chaos over there they STILL managed to blow the doors off with an awesome contract. How can anyone at AA look within your own labor organization and see anything redeeming? Kick APA to the curb and start the process of becoming industry-leading again.
