I expect the RAA and ATA to support watering-down entry level requirements to fly 121. It's only natural for them...keeps their costs down.
What is mind-boggling and unacceptable is ALPA backing yet again something that hurts its own members. What is their deal? ALPA, PLEASE STOP HELPING US!
ALPA is irrelevant, no longer represents its membership, and member airline unions, beginning with my own, should cut ties to it.
We need a union that will represent airline pilot's interests...not a bunch of dopes that'll do and say anything just as long as they get to sit at the cool dude's table.
