BS.

Meanwhile, ALPA's tone and approach appears to be totally concessionary.
So, you prefer rhetoric to results. We get that. But while APA has had ZERO raises in the past 5 years, YOU'VE gotten 14.5% in pay increases (I think), PLUS 6.5% profit sharing, PLUS $~40,000 in stock (unless you sold already), PLUS 2% in DC. Meanwhile, APA, with their clear, concise objectives have zero, zip, nada.

APA - clear objective. Results - None.
From all your postings, it seems that all you really care about is someone who can talk the talk; results don't matter. Interesting philosophy.
