I guess anyone can submit a resolution. Bottom line, I don't work for ALPA and by the tone of these forums, pretty soon the only ALPA pilots will be regional guys.
I've said this before. I work for airline A and you work for airline B. Although I will do anything in my power to help you along your career, airline B is still my competitor! I really want A to be better than B. This is the inherent problem with ALPA. It's a contradiction. ALPA CAN NOT realistically support both major and regional pilots. That's why each airline has their own MEC. We both want different things...maybe the same in the end, but not now.
If you want a NSL, I suggest you go to the regional forum and start by getting all of them on the same sheet of music. You are the ones being whipsawed back and forth by the way.
