This is such a classic example of ALPA communications. They try extremely hard to make you think they're on your side, when in reality they say nothing at all. This statement is completely meaningless as it states nothing except it supports HR 5900. They mention 1,500 hours numerous times, but 1,500 hours is NOT in this proposal.

The Law is 1500 hours and they were asked to weigh in on the cutout that was part of the law. I have told you what I think is the best way to go for this. I do not know what ALPA proposed. None what-so-ever. I have heard the leaks and they may be true, but it is nothing that I have seen in ALPA publications.
