Do you REALLY think Lee can ignore the majors now that he got elected? Just how long do you think ALPA would survive if he did that? I doubt he wants to be known as the ALPA President who oversaw the disintegration of ALPA; thus, imo, it is just the opposite of what you fear. Now that he got elected, he HAS to ensure the majors remain happy, as they can take their ball and go home if they aren't. Frankly, if a few regionals get upset, what are they gonna do?
And THAT'S what gives us the leverage to fix National.
