That's not what I'm hearing. What I've been told is that there is a disconnect between the CAPA representatives to the ARC and CAPA Corporate Comm. The CAPA reps recently met with the ARC and they are in agreement with the ALPA representatives there.

That's because what you've posted is wrong. APA and ALPA have agreed to cooperate rather than compete. APA did not approach ALPA for help with their negotiations.

Rather than compete? Come on, in what way does ALPA compete with the APA? Regardless, explain to me what services the APA is offering ALPA, in what way are they cooperating with ALPA?

I think you're reaching Carl. From what I've heard, the APA approached ALPA and went down to FL before the BOD asking for some help.


That's because CAPA and ALPA are diametrically opposed on many issues. 1500 hour rule, fatigue reduction, etc.
