You have nailed it man! Many of the ALPA apologists on here see a career at ALPA as the better choice. Lots more money, lots more perks, no accountability and a clear path to a DC lobbying job. None of that can happen for them unless ALPA remains a huge and bloated bureaucracy. This is why they fight so hard.
Just like watching the protestors being dragged out of the Wisconsin legislature: When people see their gravy train threatened...they pull out all the stops.
