Republic Holdings is certainly that.
ALPA hashed and rehashed indeed.
Bottom line is they don't want to enforce that section of our contract. Too disruptive for "constructive engagement" purposes and too divisive for their dream of bringing all mainline and RJ pilots under the ALPA dues collector machine.
Wow, really well said. But now ALPA's challenge is to send out the spin minions like acl65pilot to "help you understand" the correct interpretation of our Section 1. It's a challenge because if you interpret it wrongly (in ALPA's eyes), then you might have to allege a violation and file a grievance. And we can't have that! After all...Delta might stop calling our union leadership "great new and innovative thinkers."
