You guys can tell yourselves whatever you want, it’s not going to change reality.

Again, you can delude yourself into thinking whatever you want if it helps you sleep at night for the next couple weeks. Reality looms

So AA will let you go to a foreign country and quarantine in a hotel on their dime rather than just take the far cheaper option and mandate the vaccine? Do we work for the same company?

“Quarantine refers to the practice of separating individuals who have had close contact with someone with COVID-19 to determine whether they develop symptoms or test positive for the disease. ….Quarantine for COVID-19 should last for 14 days after the exposure has ended.”
I comprehend your message just fine, it’s not my fault you made a different argument than you intended.
Also, your anger is misdirected. I’m not making the rules, I’m just telling you the reality of the situation.

Biggest issue is who is our union reps. Yes ALPA would give us better resources, but if we still have the same corrupt, unimaginable reps we will be in the same boat.
I don't care how well you think your rep is or what they have done for you in the past, we need new blood in there, people who are willing to think outside the box, people who aren't selling us short to the company.

I’ve flown with 3 current or former chief pilots at AAL. All 3 were heavily involved with APA in the past. It’s a revolving door and you don’t want to make too many waves while working for APA or you might lose that future cushy mgt job. After 20+ years of bringing up the rear it’s time to switch to ALPA.

Same stuff happens with (D)ALPA. The company recently created a new management position called Director-Pilot Contract Administration and Support, and filled it with a long time ALPA insider. 20+ years in ALPA, was a negotiator and knows our contract (good and bad) better than most. The naive side of me wants to say this could be good, but the realistic side says it likely won't be in our favor lol. Not saying it's not worth a switch to ALPA, just that it's the same crap, different pile in this respect. Best of luck gents!
