Good analysis, 'eaglefly'.
Mistakes have been made in the past. Still, I wouldn't give up hope. There's no time like the present.

Instead of that saying, I'd consider "the enemy of my enemy is my friend". It's time for APA and ALPA to get together on this one and put their differences aside for the time being. I'm not advocating APA and ALPA merging, just working together temporarily to improve the lot of all the pilots who get paychecks from AMR.
