By ignoring what I've highlighted, you've missed that it negated everything else he had just said. This is quite typical of a politician. Politicians count on people like you to ignore critical portions of their statements so that you can continue to justify what you want to believe.

Moak's statement lays to rest the myth that ALPA national just supports whatever the desires of the local union are. He specifically states that ALPA national's HIGHEST PRIORITY in collective bargaining is to use the RESOURCES of ALPA national to ENSURE a contract is achieved that is in the best interest of the national union. There are a lot of people here that have been saying just the opposite. It's good to get the facts from the horse's mouth.
