My ire is focused on ALPA national. Not Delta pilots working on my behalf. If you actually paid attention to people's posts, you would know that.

If you are going to be "critical", maybe you should start with the stooges at Seham.
Here's one of the many things you don't get because you're so blinded by love for ALPA national: Seham has done all these things in repsonse to what their CLIENTS wanted. When Seham gets this done, they win. Whether it ends up being good for the client is not the legal firm's concern. The only thing that matters is winning when you're a legal firm. Seham wins an awful lot...ALPA almost always loses.

Think "critically", and it'll come to you...
If you're Seham, it doesn't matter why they wanted to do that. It only matters what the client wants. Seham won for their clients.

How'd the search for a new headquarters for USAPA go? How's their new contract going? Did Seham come up with a new definition for "binding"?
So far, Seham is doing exactly what their client USAPA wants them to do. That's all that matters.

ALPA was also behind the greatest givebacks and collapses in history. Delta and Midwest just to name a few.

Never said that. Only that I want to belong to a union where ALL of my dues money goes to support what's best for Delta pilots. Your love for ALPA is so strong, you find ways to defend using our dues money to support the unionizing efforts of regional airlines who gladly take our flying. You are truly blind sir.
