Captain Prater is Just the Piano Player
I really wouldn't blame Captain Prater for the posture that ALPA National has taken over the past few years. The disenfranchisement of ALPA National started with Dwayne Woerth's administration and the "no backbone" tactics in dealing with airline management costs thousands of loyal, hard working line pilots untold hundreds of thousands of dollars, their benefits, retirements, etc. I would say that "what goes around comes around" and the pendulum just crashed through the palace on Herndon Parkway.
Unfortunately, it's too late for too many line pilots. Which MEC is next ?
By the way, if you want to see something unbelievable, check out the salaries of all of the Officers, and Vice-Presidents on Herndon Parkway. That's where your dues money went Gentlemen. A crying shame !!
I'm ejecting.....out !!

The East pilots just handed all their leverage over to the company. The company will play hardball and the new union can't do anything, because they have no funds to fight it out in court.

Had another Airways CA, on the cockpit jumpseat this time, absolutely rail on us for flying RJs on routes they used to have 737s on...like it was our choice.
Wear that ALPA pin with pride of you want...they're big boys, they can take it.
