Is this what APA seriously thinks motivates their membership?

The union is just trying to make sure we are prepared for when electronic notification rolls out.. or wants to eliminate some tech problems by making the APA app to only work for Apple products

The issue is how our union is structured more than the people themselves. It is like Communism, might seem great on paper but it always 100% of the time leads to corrupt/dictator like governments. Harder to do under ALPA’s structure.
DL did not offer 200% to it's pilots over Christmas outside of our contractual Greenslip framework.

They did offer it to the FA's howerver becuase they aren't unionzied and DL changes their work rules as the drop of a hat.

In mediation, this would be a major factor.

The career expectations of a wholly-owned is the Flow Through agreement (staple).

Just a reminder to get your ALPA card sent in if you haven't already done so.

With some of the things APA is doing behind the scenes, you want a professional union with national oversight watching over your futures.

Not one that has a long history of rolling over and giving management everything they ask for.
