I do not think that I said ALPA was bad. Neither did I say it was good.
While you can point to this little service and that help to a member, for the most part, none of that would not exist except for the power of negotiating across broad segments of the business.
I personally feel that some in house unions are much more effective in that they deal with the problems of the specific and have no responsibility to the whole. While an MEC could be looked on as the in house aspect, the fact is that sometimes a national issue or problem can be dragged into the house where it is not a problem.
