I doubt ICAO would listen.

Unions aren't really relevant in international politics. The path for ALPA influence is to lobby the US administration, since that's who does diplomacy with UN agencies. The same administration which just appointed a pro 67 activist as US ambassador to ICAO.

Not to say that ALPA won't tilt at the windmill anyway, just for the optics to appease the membership.
