Ah yeah Diamondd...that's what I meant...APA, SWAPA, Teamsters...whatever...

If you're not ALPA your are part of the problem. As pilots we have international multi-carrier, multi-governmental issues to deal with...having multiple unions weakens us. ALPA is not perfect don't get me wrong but it is what we make of it...

Well, there ya go. APA, SWAPA, Teamsters, you're all (or in this case, your) part of the problem, you scum-bags.

Not sure what your problem is Diamonndd. Hmmm? I've got relatives with APA and SWAPA, friends with Teamsters...they are not scumbags. That's not what I'm saying at all. Just saying we need to stick together...a great way to start would be to be represented by the same union.

I mean look... when APA got into trouble in 2004...they were looking for someone to do an economic assessment of AMR fast...who did they turn to? IT WAS ALPA. SWAPA is running into problems right now...

So tell me when the ******************** hits the fan at APA and they come running to ALPA...why not just belong to ALPA in the first place?

In this current economic climate we have international issues to deal with...issues that will take an international union to bring enough pressure to bear to bring the kind of result we as a profession would desire.

Can APA do that? Can SWAPA? Can USAPA? Teamsters? Nope they are too caught up in there own little kingdoms to turn their gaze outward. Like I've said before...ALPA is not perfect but it is what we make of it. As we've proven time and time again...a house divided can not stand.
