Carl;
As Bar points out, I support unity of all pilots through the National structure. As he states, we have resolved the conflict at the national level so that it does not spill in to our section six talks. We resolve those squabbles there and not outside of this structure. The process may be ugly but though ALPA it is a contained mess.
Bar says my position very simplistically, "Moving out of ALPA Harms Unity." It really can not be said any clearer than that. You term it as "panic, fear, fear mongering, etc, and on some level I do have concern, concern that many do not understand the power of unity, and how that power is solidified for the delta pilots at the national level through ALPA National.
Again, that is why I say, fix the organization.
