Nope, that’s why I’m saying APA can’t even hold the company to a simple task like a suitable meal

Right? Dare I even say the Gruben and cheese is better than the snack box because at least it’s a meal (even though it’s not quite suitable)….

APA has been in place since 1963.

I can't believe this is even a debate in 2021. Doesn't APA pay for ALPA resources..also, just look at the contracts. Who is winning? We would be a stronger union together. Some of you guys are smoking crack from the 60s.

I would be more concerned about United unilaterally making personal medical decisions for their employees, and how ALPA will respond to that rather than worrying about what APA is doing.

I don’t believe there is anything prohibiting United to mandate them. Nobody has a right to a job at United and nobody is required to stay employed by them if they oppose the mandate.

That’s my viewpoint if I was a business owner / CEO or whatever.

Its rare that one airline institutes something and others don’t follow. I’m guessing we’ll know very soon if Parker is going to move forward with the same.

Will be interesting to see for sure. The United ALPA email said their pilots were 90% vaccinated, APA says we are 60%.

Everything is a conspiracy when you’ve been through this many mergers in one pilot group.
