This is the anti-APA movement? Guy taps out after 5 minutes. That’s the push? I just don’t get it.

As somebody who did send in a card but probably won’t vote for ALPA when it comes down to it, I think the ALPA crowd has a pretty big hill to climb. I certainly don’t think APA is perfect, but I mostly sent a card because I’d like to put this constant bickering to rest with a vote.

Assuming they even get the numbers for a vote, I think there’s a lot of folks like myself that won’t necessarily vote for change despite sending a card.

No. I'm just not going to waste my time arguing with an APA goon keyboard warrior on an anonymous message board. Lol. But by all means keep going.

Thats your platform: “trust me, I know better”. You are a fool. I’m not an APA goon, I’m a guy trying to understand a .8% rate increase? Do tell, how am I misunderstanding a more-expensive union?

Before you reflexively say APA Stan, I’m an average line pilot wondering why my dues should go up .8%.
APA sucks and is corrupt, that's why

If this is your “guy” just vote no. He’s vacuous, and there is no “there there”. I get it, APA is ripe for reforms, this guy ain’t it.

You sound link a guy who enjoys his dues going towards paying a guy to double dip on premium while negotiating from a hotel room the worst TA in the history of the planet when compared to the leverage we had.
