Everybody wants milk and honey to flow to them simply because they're union, but nobody wants to make any personal sacrifices in order to achieve it.
YOU are ALPA...if you don't like what is going on (and there's plenty to not like) you've got two choices...complain on the interwebs or ditch your apathy and actually start working to better things.
Thank YOU.
All of you who think ALPA isn't looking out for you, need to look at the big picture, and do a little history reading. Ie. "Flying the Line"
You want to see more changes, then step up. Back up your big words with some action. VOLUNTEER at your airline.
