Time to take a serious look at ALPA.
I know there are many with past grudges, and I get that, but a lot have time has past since then.
Without a serious change of direction, how do we change the “group think” in Dallas and bring our pilot group together?
Maybe a new name on the door and a big structural change may help us move forward finally? I guarantee if we don’t make a large shift in action and thought we will continue to watch our careers from the trailing position.
How long has it has it been since we had a leading contact or agreement?
How long do we want to wait and how much will that cost us?
Next, who have been the winners in the last decade? Their representation?

Our current representation doesn't even know what a homonym is....I think I learned these words in second grade which is downright embarrassing in its own right, but talking this way to someone who is struggling to support a family is downright disgusting and shameful.
CA Tim Doreen Jr for ya, DCA vice chair.
Add that to the "we don't care about our furloughed and ZTL pilots and are done pretending like we do" list. Not wanting to take concessions as a line pilot is a completely valid stance, even if it's not one that I personally agree with. The culture of this place is absolute garbage and I want to be a solution rather than a problem. But as an elected union official , you have a fiduciary responsibility to represent a group of pilots and not act on your own whims and wants. He should just look at the survey sent out to get a feel for where the pilot group is at. Wait....
Cherry on top of the sundae is that Timmy is using APA lawyers (paid for by you) to go after these pilots who have posted screenshots of his email onto social media....
We need ALPA but we also need these guys far away from any position of power.

I would assume that so much of the hesitancy has to do with the support staff at APA. ALPA already has the people that APA has, and I doubt they want to carry the additional staff in DFW when everything is already centered in Tysons Corner and the satellite offices around the country for the MEC’s.
