Yet, everyday I read on here how my fellow pilots want to give ALPA a chance to change. I respect you ACL, but even you have to admit that the scope line has not been drawn yet. I guarantee you that the line will be moved to 80 seats and ALPA will still be our representation organization.
I agree it has not been drawn. As to the second part, only if we vote for it, and if we do, we get everything we have coming at us.
Even I have my limits. Frankly, I do not blame ALPA for not drawing the line, or even DALPA. I blame us and the people we elect. A new organization will not fix this, new people, or strong force on the existing people will. Right now I see a few reps as strong advocates of scope, and all of the others now willing to sell any more. What we are seeing now with all of the 70 seaters arriving is exactly what we were told in Mach of 2009 at the LEC 44 meeting by the master chair. The company is exercising the contractual concession we allowed. Ugly, but true. Just remember it when it is time to vote.
