What exactly are his selfish intrests?
Apparently age-65.
It's not about individual whims. It's about "majority rules." He doesn't seem to get that.Meanwhile you got 60,000 independent contractors that pay ALPA dues wondering when Prater is going to customize his leadership to each individual whim...
I really wanted to support Prater and I hoped that he could be a good leader. While I personally supported Captain Woerth during the election, after that was over I was determined to put it behind me and stand with Prater. Unfortunately, he's made that impossible. With his complete disregard for the will of the majority, he gets no support from me.
Maybe if he wasn't so focused on this age-65 nonsense for the past 6 months he could have worked closely with the AAA/AWA MECs and come up with a viable solution without arbitration. Instead, we're now stuck with a situation that, at best, will turn into a generation-long dysfunctional pilot group at the "new" USAirways. At worst, this could turn into a viable decertification drive at AAA. Yep, real good leadership.
