Wow, lots of little dongers flying around here. To attempt to move this thread back on topic, I ask this:

For those of you moaning about ALPA, what have YOU done to help ALPA??? It's easy to do nothing but complain from the sidelines.... Instead of the incessant whining, try volunteering in your organization to make a difference.....or would that be socialistic too? Hey, don't worry it's the American way to complain endlessly and not do a damn thing to fix the problems you feel exist. Enjoy your days off, doing nothing for the betterment of the profession.

Call your reps and ask what YOU can do to make a difference!!!
