Quote: I'll offer the friendly wager of a beverage of choice that ALPA will never retract or correct that story. Sadly, I just don't think it's in the leadership's DNA despite pretty solid documentation that they got it [horribly] wrong.
Agree. Despite APC's popularity, I would expect the majority of ALPA membership to not be aware of this (and how would you, unless you actively read APC or you flew with a coworker who read this very thread and mentioned it in cockpit convo). ALPA would use this fact to their advantage that most readers would've never known the difference anyway and basically just sweep the whole thing under the rug.

Really annoyed that a % of my paltry pay (however small that amount is, it's still my money) goes toward paying this 'journalist' $140k who did such an incredibly crappy job of reporting (and preaching ethics and professionalism.)
