In the absence of unionism, safety remains ALPA's moral high ground.
I wish they would look at scope as a safety issue. If they did, could they live with the scattered wreckage of pilots career aspirations?
WOW! After your first sentence, I was preparing to fire off, but then I read the rest. Excellent perspective. ALPA is no more a union than the Augusta Country Club. If it's in their best interest to sell you out, they'll do it in a heartbeat.
