How does ALPA have input on F/A actions? And what about the pilots? Did ALPA want them to cross too?

... Look, I don't have the background on the AMFA strike, and maybe a lot of it will make sense as I discover more. For now, it will suffice to say that we each have our approach, and our F/A's have their approach. You may have backed up yours in a way that was quite honorable and logical, and we've probably done the same. Right now, seems that the South F/A's voted down AFA, and it seems that we are, at a minimum, supportive of their wishes.

As we work together, maybe we'll understand each other better. And maybe the consensus will be among F/A's that they want a union, in which case: more power to them. For right now, I wouldn't inpugn the motive of either pilot group for how they are or aren't helping or respecting the F/A's by interfering in their affairs.

So I suggest we don't have a big debate about who is rightly supporting what, and we wait to get these groups on one page to figure out what they want, and what we want. In the meantime, Nu's question is not framed correctly. This has nothing to do with respect or trade unionism, and everything to do with the context in which different parts our "family" operated under before.

Afetr Nu and I get to sepnd some time with F/A's from the opposite pre-merger group, maybe this discussion can take place again, with better information on both sides.
