Copperhead51,

It would be great if ALPA would focus on the primary problem in the industry but as usual elected leadership only reacts to pressure from the wealthiest donors. ALPA National is more concerned with the problems of their largest contributors and are unable to see the primary cause of their industry's problems. It is going to take the lowly outsourced contract pilot to force change at the top. Changing the name of the type of flying outsourced contract pilots do is just a small step in getting attention focused on the root of the problem.

First APC Forums, then the World !
