Show me a pilot group that told an ALPA lawyer to f**k off and go against his "convincing."
Lots of pilot groups have done this. ACA and TSA are two recent examples. In fact, the ACA Master Chairman that told ALPA Legal to pound sand is currently working here. ALPA attorneys are just like every other attorney: they are extremely cautious and will always try to get you to take the safe bet. Smart leaders know when to listen and when not to. Most ALPA MECs are smart enough to discern the difference.
