No offense but ALPA is not a UNION joker. Look at how DAL run by RA is pulling JPs strings. They don't even talk to us anymore.
There are a lot of pilots out there at much larger airlines than 9E unhappy with ALPO.
And you gotta be kidding me in defending ALPO in it's contract negotiations with 9E. Could it really be worse. You apparently have never had a real union job.
