Remember that your union negotiates ONLY with YOUR company. They have nothing to do with who does the flying just How it will be done.
Alpa is a tool. Anyone can purchase that tool the same as any other tool. Who ever buys that tool puts it to use as they see fit. One person uses it to build something, one uses the same to destroy something. So what's the tool for, building or destroying?
Let's also remember that the union is not to blame for a lot of stuff. We are! The MEC only had power from the line pilots. We can sit here and **** and moan about how they messed up but still we are the ones to vote them in and vote on issues the effect us. Don't blame. Get involved and actually make a difference.
