Around and around it goes until ALPA can get something pushed through the bureaucratic structure.
Our Congress has kicked the FAA funding bill along for 15 FIFTEEN! extensions. That is not ALPA's fault. I'm not sure in what business you could fail to do your most basic task 15 times, but that is the condition our government finds itself in.
ALPA / DPA / USAPA / Oprah's Book Club ... does not matter. ALPA isn't the hang up here.
Bar,
Fair enough, but what is the problem with an open discussion followed by a vote? IF ALPA is as good for us as you say then it will be a slam dunk.
ALPA should welcome this issue as an opportuntiy to go head to head on issues and show us why they are they best choice.
What is wrong with a little competition for our support? Maybe there might be a better way. Maybe not. Lets openly debate it and then vote on it.
