Somebody has to stand up for us to help improve on this industry. Who is helping us?

Certainly not ALPA. alpa is a joke and thats what people dont realize. ALPA has existed the entire time this industry has taken a nose dive. Why has it taken a nosedive. I know there is a million reasons, etc, etc, etc. But why hasnt alpa helped improve pay, QOL, etc? They have not. Just because maybe they helped you get 31 an hour instead of 30, does that matter? The pay is horrible either way. ALPA sits on the sidelines and watches, and there biggest concern is membership drives, who is coming, and who is going. Their actual 'action' phase is minimal. I feel sorry for anybody that puts their confidence in such a group. I am 100% for unionization, however, I wouldnt mind seeing one that actually produces results and doesnt exhaust all of their funds on recruiting new members instead of actually doing something effective.

Airways pilots were very intelligible in thier decision to move on with a new organizer.
