they would be supporting something against a major, their top income providers.

So you're saying American Mainline and APA isn't a major?

There's nothing wrong w/it, but they won't do it because ALPA themselves represent mainline carriers. Moak is a Delta guy and will only do what's in the best interest of himself and pilots w/in his level.

Keep updating those apps boys and girls...let's get the hell outta here!

I assume your intention is to highlight the conflict of interest with ALPA's representation of Regional carriers? Is that the point?

I think it is especially interesting in Eagle's case, since hundreds of pilots here will end up in APA anyway.

IMO, the only reason why APA is showing support is that the 175's and other EGL flying could end up at other companies outside of the old AMR. There is a motive for their support and it's not an effort to make sure we end up over there. Remember, we were once a part of APA and were eventually "kicked out". APA's objective is to get ALL flying back to AA. I dont blame them though. Why should an RJ fly DFW to CHS, GSO, CAE, GSP, etc
