ALPA is no different. How may reps do it for the good of the pilots versus the trip drops and FPL? Take the DCA ALPA council. That whole thing is a clown show and has been for years. Anne seems to have found a way to stay home and get paid while writing unabomber manifestos, the outgoing vice chair created a video that was cringe worthy. Anne wanted power and to put her husband in a nonflying high pay position. I don’t think that move was for the good of the pilots.
I’ve met great pilots that do ALPA work and great management pilots. It’s the person not the position. I think Fabian was a good example of being a stand up management pilot.
