I'm pretty happy with our current leadership. I am currently on a committee and spend a lot of time in the ALPA office. They do understand the other side and they are very frustrated with the whipsaw. They are also skeptical of ALPA national. Don't throw the baby out with the bathwater.
Danny especially understands how bad ALPA national has screwed this up. Nick understands also. Some however are just using it to move onto Delta. There are some real kissups.
Speaking of which, I heard there's going to be an ASA Captain rep vacancy very soon.
