When J. Randolph Babbit was ALPA prez he was no longer an active airline pilot. Kudos to him for striking at Eastern. But, after so many years of leading (?) ALPA the rank and file grew weary of his rhetoric. Then as a self proclaimed industry consultant he would surface occasionally along wiith all the other talking heads on aviation issues to his finacial gain.
He's lost a lot of respect withhin the ALPA ranks and it is doubtful many brotheren are enthralled with this appointment.
I can't back him.
