No, I don't have a solution to recommend- but look at the BIG picture industry wise. A single mgmt group reinventing the wheel can quickly become the "Status quo" which helps nobody. Look at reduced rest, look at low pay rates, look at PBS. These are now "lessons" but unity (throughout the industry, not doing a union ad here) can keep things in our court. This is BS for those at 9L.
That being said- VOTE ALPA. (had to put it in somewhere!)

When there is a vote, you can vote for whoever you want. Even though ALPA intitiated the vote, it doesn't mean that you are restricted to voting for ALPA alone. As long as over 50% of pilots PARTICIPATE in the vote (i.e. vote yes for a union), then whatever union gets the majority of those that participated wins.
