You make is seem like ALPA Reps dont fly the line.. Well, they do, all day long. These are men and women who volunteer their time on top of their job and do it to help you and me. When was the last time you volunteered to help?
APM, feel free to post those numbers from our "volunteers" show us how they volunteer their time. Most I have seen do not spend much time on the line at all. I am not talking the ones on committees but like you said the reps. I do not consider them voulteers at all at some of the airlines.
I also always like the folks here that talk like we are a national union, then go back and read the posts from national brothers that hope this one or that one go out of business so their own interest will be met. We need to be represented I just wish it was by a different organization.
By the way if they drop trips then they drop trips just don't keep pushing the volunteer line down our throats.
