Perhaps got a look under the hood and said "F this I'm out."

Tough gig right now. What's in the best long-term interest of the pilot group? Do you try to do damage control and minimize short-term carnage, or try to help the company setup for long-term survival? Are those mutually exclusive? Nobody knows.

How about... "Try not to sign industry-worst LOAs."

Then, and I know this is a stretch, "try to accomplish even a fraction of what the other airline unions have accomplished."

It would suck..if you were trying to find creative solutions to avoid furloughs like every other airline did. Meanwhile the BOD is perfectly fine with just tossing everyone on the street with no thought given on now to prevent it.

May want to poll the older Eagle guys, see what we/they think about ALPA.

What a continuous rolling circus.

The letters on the building don't matter as much as the letters in the constitution/by laws and the letters on each nameplate on each door in the headquarters. An effort should be made to scrub every other unions bylaws for best practices, APAs for things that aren't working, and a sincere effort to update how APA is governed and operates. Any office does not support that effort should have the nametag on the door changed. Only then will APA see meaningful changes in its contract. External change happens after internal change.
