Captain Prater's Introductory Message

[Rez O. Lewshun]

Regardless of what Prater wasn't responsible for prior to his election to ALPA President, he inherits the issue of the legal action brought upon the Association and now pending.

There's a lot of money at stake and a lot of liability that the Association is looking at.

ALPA needs to disprove the fact that they represent the largest carriers with the most tenacity. They didn't when it came to the TWA pilots and the Association's desire to recruit the APA.

As to "how long I ride this dead horse" will be seen by whatever comes of the court action that will likely take place this year (in other words, expect an assessment and/or an increase in dues to compensate the damaged).

I still haven't seen compelling arguements for the TWA pilots. I empathize with the TWA guys.... but I need to see fair and reasonable cause..... to support this lawsuit....
