My hunch was to trust one of the more exceptional and pro-pilot committee chairs (SK), who was directly involved in advising the MEC on these matters. On further review I guess I should just lean on APC for a more informed opinion.
Yet you manage to come out of the woodwork to defend ALPA every single time this topic is brought up. It’s a strange place to hang your hat. Especially without having any connection to the people involved in the deal, either directly or indirectly.
I’m a strong supporter of our union. However, they can and do make mistakes. This particular one was egregious.
