I should have merely said: How do you know? It has only been 3 days since the new Chairman took office.

There is no conflict of interest because ALPA will not acknowledge one. Admitting there's a problem is the first step.

I submit that ALPA National Attorneys are not even ALPA members. They are not pilots, do not pay dues and have no right of representation by our Reps. They are staff counsel with a hell of a conflict of interest. A conflict which they should ethically stated up front. |

It is just a natural characteristic of highly autocratic power structures to ignore the rules when the rules don't suit them. In the past I have defended our union's mechanisms to resolve conflicts of interest internally. Now I am defending our Constitution and Bylaws with the hope we can resolve our problems and avoid handing a winning platform to ALPA's enemies. |

Why again do we need ALPA? For ALPA "legal?" Ha.
Why are we sending our money to National? We must at or near the top of dues-producing groups. If that doesn't buy us some extra consideration, then it's time to bail. I'm tired of hearing about how "no other representation can be as effective on Day 1 as ALPA." What exactly about ALPA is even the slightest bit "effective?" If Delta pilots are refused a seat at the table to discuss our scope...that's pretty damn ineffective. |

I'm sure dues from Pinnacle will allow Moak et. al. to continue their ridiculously extravagant standard of living. |
