Another desperate attempt by the ALPA apologists, but at least you used the word "apparently". Read your own post below ace! Below says NOTHING of the sort that you assert above. Why wouldn't any responsible organization take the offer of data access from another organization? Only a true apologist would take that to mean that it shows APA doesn't have the capabilites. APA and ALPA decide to cooperate instead of compete. I would bet ALPA would not appreciate your characterization of this cooperation as weakness on the part of APA.

It is safe to assert that the relationship between ALPA and APA is the best it’s been in decades. Working together, we can advance the profession far more than acting as competitors." APA ltr
