I'm not smart enough to know what the fix is, but I don't think ALPA has figured it out either, and a little competition and embarassment might bring some focus to this area of the industry.
I will go back to my orginal point exactly how are you going to be best represented?
I know, did you hear? ALPA is on a big union drive now at SKYW so management is forced by law to halt all pay talks for however long ALPA decides to continue the union drive. My friend told me somewhere around a year they want to run the drive. Seems to me, that if ALPA needs to take over a year, then they are not too organized for an organized labor group. What could Teamsters do at SKYW? Any thoughts from those that are represented by Teamsters
