Don't get me wrong. I know ALPA does and has done many thing to build the career and improve aviation safety. But I think they have lost focus on where the priority is. In my opinion the priority should be in supporting and developing well paying jobs with good benefits that make this a worthwhile career. Promoting the growth of regionals and allowing the erosion of scope does not do this.
