The key phrase is your info comes from the WEST. Sadly, the AWA pilots are spreading complete mistruths. USAPA has medical in place, ASAP program, insurance is up and running thru Harvey Watt...etc. Some grievances are lagging because ALPA won't supply information. Our new Aero Lab has helped pilots in the past that Hudson in Colorado could not. If you love ALPA so much, why don't you ask Prater why he forced Hudson to deny service to USAPA? A childish and bitter move. ALPA does not own Virtual Flight Surgeons, Hudson does. AMR, SWA, Sony Flight, WAI, Frontier, all use Dr. Hudson. They are not ALPA, my friend. Please take your ALPA blinders off.....ALPA free at US Airways and elated. Please recall the AWA led a drive to leave ALPA 4 or 5 years ago, but just like today, they were not organized.
