I never said it was OK for us to strike. I just don't trust unskilled labour to make the same moderate decisions DALPA has made in the past. ALPA is way BIGGER than a pilots ability to strike. ALPA is an association that not only has the pilots best interest in mind but also the passengers. Because the FAA has no checks and balances and its function is to promote and regulate we must have a voice in Washington to prevent business from taking advantage of a very very poor organization. As far as I am concerned the AFA will be nothing more than a dues collecting organization.
