Ask any pilot who has ALPA step up to the plate to defend them and they will tel you that it is they who they want behind them.
Yes, ACL...I don't know how I could have missed all this that you've learned in your very short time in aviation.
I've done all that you've done and more over 3 decades with ALPA and have come to just the opposite conclusion. Many, many other pilots have as well. That is why you and the other apologists are so panic stricken over this. I understand.
I still find it so interesting that ALPA still hasn't come out with a statement welcoming the competition. Only the slander and massive fear mongering that you've championed thus far.
