ALPA has their hand in too many pilots pockets. Where are the synergies from having the same union represent airlines that are competing against each other? Now that the "new" Pinnacle has nearly 3,000 pilots, the resources, talent and ability is there to form a union that best represents Pinnacle and not take our dues to represent UAL, CAL, FDX or any other airline that ALPA represents.

If ALPA hasn't nationalized the seniority system by now, it will never, ever happen. They just want your 2% and that's it.
