I am with Chuck on this one ACL. Usually you have some good posts, this one not so much.
In my opinion ALPA is broken. The question is can they be fixed or is it time to start over. I am not ready to send in the card yet, but I am ready to listen.
Caddis, I do not think I am saying that ALPA does not have issues and needs to be fixed. What I am saying is that the issues are fixable and the unintended consequences are to great to take them lightly. There is a huge difference.
