It would be funny if it wasn't true. I can't recall a time in my 20 year ALPA career when I've seen more line pilots disaffected, disappointed, disenfranchised, and simply disinterested in ALPA.

Don Skiados (former executive director of ALPA communications) is gone from ALPA. His methods may have been effective in the print age, but have failed miserably in the digital 24/7 wired world we live in. Come on ALPA, get with it! The communications platform and distribution network are dinosaurs teetering on the brink of extinction. 12 years after the launch of ALPA.org and the leadership still doesn't get it - and they say airline management never misses an opportunity to miss an opportunity.
