Even bigger difference when you criticize those that try to do EXACTLY what you tried to do.
ALPA has lost this moral ground. They can never speak on this particular subject again without being utter hypocrites.

Carl;
I am not disagreeing with you. I am stating that it is very dangerous for ALPA to not support collective bargaining.
The reality is that if the unions win in WI, the Governor will bankrupt the state and then shed their contracts. It is a template of what is to come. As many airline labor units did, it is much wiser to not engage in a pi$$ing contest that could result in larger losses for their group. Also 12% of your medical costs is a far cry from what we pay.
As for what ALPA did, I agree it is inexcusable. Better to negotiate than to pull this crap. BTW what ALPA did is exactly what some on here wanted them to do, and we all warned of the results.
