Rise & Fall of ALPA

[~~~^~~~]

Re: Since we've gone on a concessions streak

Now, once more, how ALPA ties into this mess.
I assert that ALPA will influence against concessions.
For the sake of argument, let's say UAL is not granted the concessions it seeks, can't pay the bills in November and subsequently goes TU. Result? 8k+ pilots for hire out on the market, ALPA membership reduced by same amount.
Thus begins the implosion of ALPA. I can not see how the organization will maintain its long term bargaining status after the loss of large amounts of membership from UAL and other actions the union is facing.

Wow, how many pilots are needed to maintain ALPA National's power structure? ALPA National might adopt concessions quicker than you think just to preserve ALPA National's jobs. Do you think the Eagle, ASA, Comair and US Air Express pilots would elect Woerth at this year's Board of Director's meeting?

Where is my United PLUS sticker?
