If you want to send a message to Prater, browse over to the ALPA website and scroll to the bottom of the page. There's a "Contact Us" link. It takes you to this page:

Contact Us

Type away. Leave a comment, request, or suggestion.

(Of course, they'll want to know your name . . . )

I don't think ALPA is some magical, mystical, powerful entity that sits in Washington, D.C. and dreams of ways to screw up the pilot profession. In fact, I don't think they are Magical, Mystical or Powerful at all!

You Rah Rah . . . Go Team!!!!

CONTACT US! . . . No kidding . . . they have that on the website . . .
Come on TonyC, If you haven't been able to tell by now, I am not one to Dilly Dally and send a suggestion to a (CONTACT US) general mail box. If Prater doesn't want to put his e-mail up on line, then so be it. If ALPA wants to be serious, then Prater needs to be serious in ALL aspect of communication, ideas, strategies, tactics, goals, etc.

I will ask again ALPA . . . SHOW ME YOUR PLANS, STRATEGIES, TACTICS, EXECUTION MODELS AS WELL AS SYSTEMS FOR MEASURING SUCCESS AND I MIGHT LISTEN.

So, you consider yourself too important to send a suggestion to ALPA via the website, but you think Prater should be cruising the internet looking for you and soaking up your wise ideas?

Good grief.

Right. You're not one to Dilly Dally. In fact, you're not one to do anything but sit on the sidelines and snipe. Enjoy your seat.

Blind (uninformed) loyalty to any organization is dangerous. Perhaps those of us who can't join are just uninformed.

Nope, not at all. He doesn't need to cruise the internet. He just needs to make available a way to contact him directly. Maybe your profound leader is too aloof to consider making available his personal e-mail to receive input from groups of people who, like myself, won't even consider sending an e-mail to a [CONTACT US] link.

My thoughts exactly . . .

LOL! That's funny, if you only knew.
