Refer to post 17173 & 17171. The irony is that I'm one of the very few Delta pilots who occasionally agrees with your ranting about ALPA's scope policy. You're just more abrasive, but your points are sometimes valid. MidWest pilots' Reps voted with us at Executive Board and BOD and the resulting changes to our Constitution and Bylaws which were designed to thwart airlines like Comair and ASA who wished to use ALPA's Merger and Fragmentation policy to pursue mergers as a defense to alter ego flying has now come full circle resulting in the ALPA that is not as effective at providing leadership and job protection that you desire. I'm sure the MidWest contract bears the signature of Chairman, was negotiated by its negotiating committee and ratified by its pilots. You probably did all YOU could do.
