At least the APA is following the true will of its membership regarding Age 65...unlike ALPA and its "survey" full of leading questions that, on the surface, certainly appear to have been spun to support a predetermined agenda.
Lord knows, I'm no ALPA lover, but I think that's an unfair characterization of the survey. Yeah, it was leading, but ultimately, it was pretty obvious how you needed to answer to say either yea/nay to the 60/65 question.
The majority spoke, and ALPA took it's marching orders to fight to keep the 60 rule in place. As it should, cuz majority rules.
Of course, they were totally ineffectual in stopping the change (or it sure looks like it). Yeah, they spoke on the hill, but fat lot of good they did. You know, kinda like how they yak but accomplish nothing on :
- Pension reform
- Crew Rest/Duty time Reg reform
- Putting me on the $100k/yr+ ALPA salary plan
