Did ALPA get religion on alter egos?

Got a better idea?

If only they would teach that in school these days. Everyone's all into mob rule democracy, 50% + 1, and yes including ALPA, that it becomes much more difficult for people to avoid being divided and conquered. Just look at all the morons who still, to this day, lament that Gore got more votes but isn't president. They really think that's how it does and should work. Sad.

The United States of America is one of the oldest constitutional republics in the world.

For example, "the United States relies on representative democracy, but [its] system of government is much more complex than that. [It is] not a simple representative democracy, but a constitutional republic in which majority rule is tempered by minority rights protected by law.

Joe-

as a minority... you wanted your rights OVER the rights of the majority. not in accord with. Your problem is... you don't know how to make that work, yet you blame ALPA for not making it work...


It seems that USAPA is trying to become the anti-constitutional democracy, as noted, in the first paragraphs of your link. Why are they regressing?

A judicial system within ALPA as Fins suggested? That would lack credibility if the panel was ALPA pilots. What about Nicalau? Objective?

It seems to me if we want to advance ALPA to the next level of representation.....should we prove to ourselves we can participate in the current realm.

Said another way.... before we insist that we can fly jets, shouldn't we prove we can solo?

Finally, realistically, of the listed forms of gov't on the right margin, and considering participation levels at ALPA, which one applies?

Newsflash: that's exactly what ALPA is.

Newsflash: that's exactly what ALPA is.

The context of this debate was regarding the TSA vote on bringing GoJets onto the list at TSA....Rez promotes this "democracy"....In this case, ALPA was right and the pilots IMO were wrong....They should have taken the deal...which ALPA advocated.....

TSA and all of us would be better off now with a single list at the TSA property....this was "democracy" in action....

I agree with all of that, but it doesn't change the fact that ALPA is a constitutional republic.

One that's remarkably short on republican virtues.
