My delivery is a bit stand off-ish..... My intent is to motivate and get pilots to protect ther careers and particapte in the process. That is win win for all of us...
I guess I am not ready to beg and plead that a professional pilot take responsibility for his/her own career.
Nonetheless, all of our success is dependant on all of us pulling togther... not fighting, not sueing the Association.... no one gives a Sh#t about us... not even us....
Your delivery, Rez, makes you look like an ass to most of the readers here. You succeed in motivating pilots, but not the direction you think: You've motivated many to understand that ALPA is NOT representing its members. I shouldn't have to lobby Washington to protect myself from my fellow "brothers." I shouldn't have to lobby to keep the minority from riding high for five years on the backs of those hired after them. That's not what a union is supposed to be about.
And, there is the crux: as a union, ALPA has failed miserably, and none of your efforts to place the blame on the dues-paying members change this fact. In your world, ALPA would need three gymnasiums to hold an LEC meeting, because every freekin' line pilot would be there. Airlines would suspend ops for the day. Get real....
Our success depends on us not fighting? Really? Your "delivery," as you call it, indicates you like a good fight. Perhaps you should heed the advice I see you get so often (STFU), and take a few days to ponder what your true motivations are. Perhaps you'd be more successful with a different style of "delivery."

P.S. I've often thought you were a management troll. You have the effect of dividing pilots.
