Have to disagree with you on that one. I to have been flying planes for almost 30 years and have been around airlines my whole life. I can say that this airline is counterintuitive to what I was raised with. After living under a scorched earth policy at this airline, I think people are capable of thinking for themselves without ALPA's input. ALPA doesn't want to run it, but they don't want it run into the ground either.
I do agree with the conflict of interest aspect and feel that will eventually come to a head.
