I'll say this again. The fact that ALPA is a bloated and ineffective bureaucracy is the least of their problem in my eyes. Once again, it is the conflict of interest. The conflict between me as a pilot for a major being represented by a national organization that has made the calculation that the future is with the regionals.

Nothing to do with fear and angst. No matter how many times you say that, it won't make it true. You're performing a tried and true tactic that is currently being used by those who slam the Tea Party. Once again, not fear and angst. Once again, it is conflict of interest.

Another mischaracterization. I don't want to sell them out. I want them fired. I know selling out makes the movement sound cowardly and negative. I hope the guys in DPA are at least getting a handle on the talking points.
It would really be nice if we could honestly debate this without the blatant and purposeful slander and mischaracterization. Maybe we can't, but it would be nice.
