Why is the hate for ALPA so strong amongst some pilots? It is a level of disgust similar to AOC supporter’s opinion of Trump, and vice versa.

I understand the loss of pension, contract negotiations since, and the current age 67 stance. I have read Flying The Line.

I have brought it up a few times in the cockpit and it usually turns sideways. Understandably, it’s a sensitive subject filled with emotion. The answers were usually broad statements about ALPA being self serving followed by me being dismissed and moving on to another subject.

Is there anything besides age 67 and pensions being replaced?
