It is so frustrating to see ALPA blow it on some of the most important items that will effect our health and safety the remainder of our careers. When all the smoke clears ALPA will simply say "oh sorry that was the earlier administration... we gotta just move on...at least ALPA got to participate in the process". The position ALPA has taken on rest and duty times is indefensible and reason alone to go a different direction.
