How many of these groups could even afford their MEC office or union work buyouts if the big 3 weren't overpaying into the system?

I think this last round of contract negotiations made it clear that ALPA negotiators were able to bring better final documents to their pilot groups than APA was. Sure, the hourly rate on APA's looked decent, but the quality of life giveaways they made to get it are only now becoming fully apparent.
