ALPA has more strength in numbers, maybe your narrow mind can't wrap around that fact but here we are, a lot of us have 10, 15 plus years in good standing with ALPA. Another shocker United is now a combo of UAL and CAL, management, pilots, FAs etc. live with it, make it a great company, your livelihood depends on it.
Don't kid yourself.

It leads me to think I shouldn't care about your QOL because "it's just business".

What you need to live with is the cal way is dying and will be replaced with the UAL way.
See "Delta Pilots Association.org", it's just a matter of when......
just a note, somebody must be worried about the DPA, because there are other web sites created to play down the DPA

DPA has been "this close" for years now with no substantial progress since. It's like the roller coaster that stalls short of the top.

Back to 'blocked' island you go. See you in September...
Those people (not peeps) you speak of tolerate you and probably have the same feelings i do. The only cockpit we'll ever meet in will belong to me - so you can save your "I'm senior" talk for the new hires.
