APA, SWAPA, CAPA all made position statements in support of 1108 as early as last week. ALPA published one yesterday. Yes, this has everyone's attention.

The guys who've burned too many bridges will never move on. For the ones who've played it smart, there is still hope.

The great majority of the guys I fly with don't even know what a fractional is.

Although ALPA did include an article in their daily blast email today, so more folks know about it now.

If you think for one second that the list won't be made public, and all the anti union names won't be subject to scrutiny and possible black listing from other jobs, you are crazy.
