What does it all mean?

Organizationally, ALPA is divided into "pilot groups." Each pilot group consists of all the pilots at a given airline. Pilot groups exercise considerable autonomy in governing their own internal affairs, such as negotiating contracts. Each pilot group is governed by its Master Executive Council, composed of the two or three elected representatives from each of the pilot group's Local Councils (which are located in the airline's major domiciles). The Local Council representatives from all the groups also comprise the Board of Directors, which sets major policies. An Executive Board and Executive Council provide interim guidance between the biennial meetings of the Board of Directors. The four national officers (president, vice president, vice president of administration, vice president of finance) administer these policies from the Association's offices in Washington, D.C., and nearby Herndon, Va.

This is from the Alpa website...Am I to understand that each "Pilot group" is responsible for the negotiations of the specific group? If so then why is Cal airplane on the website and no rj along with? Does xjt not exsist within Alpa or is it an after thought?

Because Alpa is alot more
interested in high-paying
mainline jobs than rj's.
