The Indy unions enjoy the "luxury" of being independent. Consider how easy it is to govern one group or a group of groups.

In addition, the APA hasn't done much. The B scale and sick out were failures and effected all of us. Still do.

The IPA recently negotiated a lessor contract compared to FDX. Ask any pilot of the two carriers and the FDX contract is the one they want.

SWAPA enjoys a good business model and relationship with management.

SWAPA, IPA and APA all buy services from ALPA. they can't afford to have their own departments or dues would be 5%.


Most importantly, these Indy unions can't strike. You need money to do so...

Finally, the problems of the Air Line Pilot profession are global. ALPA is an international association.

Boy, that group of pilots working for those independents must be a bunch of clueless dolts. Good thing they've got Rez to point out their mistakes and help bring them to Jesus.

My point exactly. No offense intended but I would like to hear this from the respective presidents. To not hear it from them reads as speculation. Why do they purchase services from ALPA? Which services exactly? And is this actually true? It seems reasonable to hear it from them.
