And there might just be a pretty creative solution that won't involve AE ALPA.
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.

That is great news, and I am glad APA has a secret plan up their sleeves to compete with the rest of the domestic regional carriers flying 70-76 seat jets for a fraction of F100 payscales. I am eager to see the APA proposal for this plan, and any details would be greatly appreciated.
