Wrong Carl. It's not parroting. It's facts.
Fact-USAPA has failed to negotiate a SLI.
Fact-USAPA has failed to negotiate any kind of raises for their members.
Fact-FAPA failed to negotiate the top spot on a seniority list thereby having the most senior Frontier pilot ending up junior to a regional pilot.
Fact-SWAPA has failed to ever negotiate industry leading rates
APA has failed to negotiate a new contract and LOST an arbitration case allowing 22 more CRJ700's to be flown by American Eagle.
Fact-Caplinger reached out to APA President Bates, & Bates himself told Mr. Caplinger DPA was a BAD idea, & he would not support DPA.
Those are facts Carl. All failures by independent unions. I'll stick with ALPA. And that's my OWN research Carl.
