Your the same guys who did not hear about the meltdown. I think you would fit in well speaking for ALPA.

Why is ALPA so bad? Could they be worse than SWAPA? ALPA seems to be getting the job done.

Contracts don’t expire. They become amendable.

You don’t vote to strike the day after it does. Delta’s came 3 years post-amendable date.

ALPA is a self-serving union that stabs its own members in the back. I don’t know how you can negotiate scope for legacy while in a different room negotiate for their regional sub-contractors.

The best union is one the ONLY serves your interests…not those of any other company.

Who did ALPA stab in the back? Did you come from a commuter? Are you a FAT?

FFS, clueless doesn't even begin to describe you. Major troll is probably a more accurate descriptor.

EAL and TWA come to mind . ALPA set up the EAL pilots for an epic loss of their careers . ALPA assured all the eastern airline pilots that they would go with the airplanes and take their seniority. Obviously that never happened.
