I'm out mountain biking and I come upon this cabin with this very girl out front getting water from a well, but there's this half-blind toothless guy on the porch with a banjo. The girl comes up to me and showing great interest with these innocent yet somehow sexy (in a trashy way) eyes asks me to stay for dinner.
What should I do?

That being the case, I certainly hope that you are working to remove your reps from office ASAP, or at least in the next election cycle, and replacing them with those of your fellow pilots (maybe you?) whom you do trust.
The part of ALPA that deals directly with our negotiations and contract enforcement is nothing more and nothing less than those whom we elect to represent us and those whom they then in turn select to do the heavy lifting on our behalf.

I disagree that leaving out the CPI index or some other rate of inflation amounts to sandbagging. None of the other financial metrics shown in the contract history were adjusted for inflation. Further, I am quite capable of adjusting any of those metrics myself in any way I choose.

So round and round we go, getting nowhere.

And a reserve pilot no longer has the requirement to acknowledge a trip or short call that's been placed on his line.

That whole "shaping the battlefield" thing.

I've gone this route before, and all ALPA does is bury you in layers of bureaucratic BS. You basically have to run a political campaign to get anywhere, and good luck with that, because usually, the only people who vote, are the ALPA status quo supporters.
So round and round we go, getting nowhere.

So yes. As with any democracy, there are layers to wade through and you have to be able to bring others around to your point of view to have that perspective carry the day.
I consider that neither BS nor getting nowhere. It is what it is. We can either sit behind our keyboards and wish it were different, or we can stand up and get into the game as our reps have done.
