- "Unfortunately, there is little ALPA committees can do. . ."
- So ALPA's solution is: "Flight Operations management must push back on Network demands and say enough is enough!"
- ALPA requests pilots to call in fatigued if fatigued.
I hope I am wrong, but I see some very dark clouds on our horizon.

Poor old Joe Biden just doesn’t realize he is the President of the United States, and has the power along with the democrat-controlled house and senate to shut this all down……. I guess I better just go buy an electric car….
