We've done no such thing. Majors have one view of scope that will take jobs away from the regionals. ALPA represents all sides. That's not even close to unity...in fact it's about as far away from unity as you can get. It's like saying the agents that bargain for the NFL and also bargain for the players creates unity among the NFL. That's nonesense. The players would never accept such conflicted representation. ALPA cannot represent both sides and give both sides what they want. To think otherwise is whistling past the graveyard.

Again, if there was ANY evidence to show that ALPA could be changed, you might have a point. There is no such evidence. ALPA has beaten back any and all attempts at reform and they have done so for decades. You say: "This time it will be different." I say: "Do your best, and keep us posted on how you're doing." In the meantime, cards are going to be counted.
