It's been said over and over. ALPA (or anybody else) is only as good as your local MEC.
I've been at two ALPA carriers. One where the MEC had brass cajones and took little, if any crap from management. That was also at a time when national had waaaay more on their plate dealing with the legacy bk's and the "regioal" ALPA carriers interest's were barely even on their radar, if at all.
The other, well, just can't say the same unfortunately.
Support from national has nothing to do with it.
