I do know all too well how it works. I patently reject the status quo. ALPA could be doing a lot more. They are 3 years too late on many accounts and our meeting schedule is a joke. The main problem is that ALPA is stocked with people who only know status quo, and even then only know the aviation world as practitioners. Why isn't ALPA attacking the RLA? We pay a fortune in dues yet the results are pathetic. Why is it that teachers' unions are far more effective on significantly abbreviated timelines? Yes, I know they aren't under RLA, obviously, but I am referring to their diligence in infiltrating lawmakers. Do I see our elected Union people, including national ALPA, trying to make daily appearances using the news media? Why aren't we doing daily letter writing campaigns to like change.org does? (I hate change.org, for the record). We have a ton of options that haven't even been considered or even imagined.

Have you actually read the RLA?

The timeline we are accustomed to is not maximizing the written law.
