Do I wish his situation upon him? Absolutely not.
Do I have sympathy for him? Absolutely not.
What are his viewpoints on people that make him so bad?

You guys are rich. Conformity to you is a dirty word. Your individualism stops the moment you sign in for work until you punch out, it's that simple.
dont condemn the person for bringing your violations to your attention. Did not the teachers in elementary teach you responsibility.

Uh-oh. What's his issue now?

After seeing several of his tirades I've simply come to the conclusion that nothing is ever good enough. Specifically for me is his viewpoints on women in the workplace that turned me off. It also got him banned from a couple OO FB pages.

Some people change; maybe it isn't too late for him.

That is not close to disdain for another pilot group for being unionized. I do read the SAPA forums, and I've never seen anything like that.

that’s what I meant. They don’t want Alpa because they don’t want to have to pay for the gains that Alpa gets them. I hate that a group we ride the coattails of Alpa while not paying for it.

You can always just donate a percentage of your salary to ALPA national.

We don't have access to the lawyers or the negotiators, so no we aren't parasites that benefitted at the expense of others. ALPA has contributed massively to safety intiatives which the entire public benefits from - do we expect the public to pony up? We still pay taxes for the FAA whose presence curbs managment greed. St george pays for KCM enrollment. Many OAL pilots rely on us to get them to work. Skywest aint a leech. Lastly, acute labor shortages have driven wage increases from 2014 on, pattern bargaining was a lagging indicator. But I'm probably still missing something.
