I don’t agree. I’ve watch ALPA screw over pilots many times in the last 25 years.
As far as I can tell APA has historically done a fabulous job ensuring AA pilots came out on top in mergers. Is there an event I’m unaware of that I should know about?
Also it can’t be both ways. In This thread I’ve been called out for not wanting alpa because APA has no oversight and also been told not wanting alpa is the same as not having faith in my current union leadership because even with ALPA it’s still our people.
I’m not seeing a good argument against APA representation for a merger with the WO. I see lots of potential issues with ALPA merger policy and that process has had lots of failures over the years.
