You are extremely panic stricken.

I take very seriously the fact that a majority of us voted these contracts in. For that we must take the blame. You continue to ignore ALPA's role in this which is: to be the conduit through which almost all information gets to us and our local leaders. The information has been terribly slanted in such a way as to produce only one outcome. You don't like to talk about that, but it is at the heart of why so many pilots want out of ALPA national. We'll see if the votes tally 51%.

I never said we created the conflict. We sold scope. ALPA created the conflict when they fought to be the bargaining agents to all sides...including the guys we sold our flying to.

You're an ALPA loyalist to the end. I understand that. Anything else is viewed by you as quitting, slitting wrists, throwing grenades, anger, fear, group suicide, etc.
