ALPA has sucked the life out of our pilot group. They wait with baited breath for them to reveal something. It is presented and guys can't vote fast enough. During the BK if we had better leaders at ALPA we might have not allowed some of the huge concessions we took for wages, work rules and scope. But instead ALPA is a flame to the moths of self importance and those needing an ego boost.
If anyone tuned into our MEC Chair and puppet chat last night it was quite amusing!

Take it one step further. They represent both major carriers and UAX and COEX airlines that in one form or another, compete against us and lower the bar in all areas of compensation/benefits. The argument that the pliots at those airlines did this to themselves has credence but if your choices are being decided by an entity that stands to gain no matter how much either side loses, you can either change the union with a new one or accept the situation and move on.
