ALPA has good services and has the size to back any pilot group. But the only way I would vote for ALPA is if we hired a separate legal attorney to review all documents before signing. A number of the regionals are doing it ... Comair, Eagle, and a few more.

ALPA legal should have caught the poor "scope language" originally from American Eagle used at Midwest. It tells me ALPA wrote it or approved it at Eagle years ago. IBT legal wrote a much better scope section for Republic. Writing a strong/tight contract is more important then Aeromedical.

ALPA has not united the locals. You are only as good as your local leadership.
