American, Continental, and Southwest are pilots are holding the line.
Delta ALPA sold-out to Anderson, but now finally realize that they were incredibly stupid to do so.
UAL ALPA just doesn't matter much anymore and likely will not matter at all by the end of the year.
USAPA matters even less.

You call that news ?
You have no say on the 22 CRJ options as the arbitrator (right or wrong) handed the APA their hats (again) on this issue and those you'll not prevent. Since AA cannot survive in current size and form regardless of some AA pilots fantasies without a viable and competitive feed system (like the majority of their competition), then a byproduct of the slurred demands of drunken scurvy dogs will be a MUCH smaller AA. As Eagle shrinks and offers less to the customer in schedule flexibility, then AA cannot fill their aircraft as those former customers head for the competition that will meet their needs.
Sorry, but that's the painful reality of modern business.
Hopefully, you'll not be one of the scurvy dogs that walks the plank should your wish come true. If you keep your employment, my guess is terminal "F/Oitis" will lead to medical disability within 6-7 years due to the need for non-FAA approved medication (tranquilizers).
Arrggg matey !!!!!
Best of luck in dodging Davy Jones's locker.
