I remember me and my squadronmates all wanted to work for Eastern and Delta.
A snapshot of the industry on any given day is where people say they want to be.
Who knows in a 5-10 years mayber USAir will be the place to be or Virgin America, but right now FedEx IS the place to be.

You are all the highest paid in the industry.
Yeap ALPA let you down alright.
And believe it or not we still have the best work rules. Sure things could be better, But Look at the Big picture. There are 100,000 pilots who would change places with you in a New York Second.
You guys are starting to sound like spoiled liltte Rich kids

Standard union stance anytime anyone raises a concern or questions how things are happening at the top. I'm very surprised the, "well if you don't like how things are going then why don't you run for office or volunteer" statement didn't show up in your response. Keep drinking whatever they are giving you.

Keep drinking whatever they are giving you.I responded to childish accusations by what I'll assume are relatively Junior folks who haven't been in this industry but a few years.
I only posted facts. Go ahead and dispute them.
Did ALPA lobby to get the AGE 60 Change?
Answer ....NO
Do you currently have the Highest pay and best benefits in the industry?
Answer........ Yes
Would you have gotten these without your Union?
Answer .......... NO
I won't deny that things could be better. I won't deny that the Union leadership has made a few Faux Pas.
I won't say Run for office because I personally don't or wouldn't want the Job.
It is too much like work.
But I will say it is easy to sit on the sidelines and throw spears.

Oh, wait a minute, I guess we have to renegotiate that one again...
