If you want better QoL, pay, scope, etc, IBT isnt the answer. The answer is recalling your reps, voting in people that want the same things you do and voting NO when the crappy TA comes from the NC. If you have a crappy contract its because, in part, of the reps who were elected/volunteered into various positions and ultimately with the pilots who ratified the contract, NOT because of the national association you happen to fall under.

Actually I'm not THAT dissastisfied. I just don't agree with those jumping up and down screaming ALPA IS THE ONLY WAY! Because clearly its not.
