I've been suspicious for some time now about ALPA national's agenda. Those suspicions were erased today by the latest Air Line Pilot magazine. The following is part of an interview of Capt Moak on page 12:
ALPA staff: What do you think are or should be ALPA's highest priorities in collective bargaining? Contract enforcement? Safety? Security?
Capt Moak: "...Local pilot leaders chart the course of negotiations and - through consensus of their members - make the decisions on priorities. At the national and international level, our highest priority is to help pilot leaders at different carriers visualize favorable contract patterns across the industry and provide the resources to reach a contract that ensures the greater good for the entire profession. Contracts that focus solely on self-interests will inevitably lower the high standards that this union has established for eight decades and in the end hurt all of us."
This should put to rest the myth that local leaders do the negotiating and decide their own contracts. I'm posting this on the Delta L&G thread as well.

If not our own self interest then whose self interests should we be negotiating for?
And why would doing something in our own self interest, such as scope AND pay, hurt ALPA national/international and "us" all? Who is us?

Less outsourcing, more hiring here, less stuck there.
The magazine is tossed when it celebrates the appeasement of the current situation.

Bingo. It's not a personal thing... it's that the outsourcing that is ruining all our careers that is continually promoted. Kind of like all the ALPA guys from Midwest smiling on the cover of the ALPA rag after they had been fully outsourced and shut down. Absolutely disgusting.
