The other major issue I have is nobody is explaining how ALPA will be any better at *insert pet peeve here*. It is essentially "APA screwed this up therefore ALPA will make life perfect". How?
My concern is there is all this effort and focus being put into the letterhead and at the end of the day nothing will change except my dues will nearly double.
I am open minded to change but you need to show me how things will be better. I agree with your complaints about APA but how does changing the name fix any of them?
well said.
I don’t care what people think needs to be fixed. I want to know how it will be fixed.
Does ALPA just walk into SkyView (pick a building) and scare the **** out of everyone?
Is our company going to all of a sudden change its behavior because of our union?
Are we going to replace all of our APA leadership on day one?
How long do we need to wait until all of the magic at ALPA turns AA into the stuff of DAL/UAL’s dreams?
