Agree. Airline pilots needed to band together for many reasons. As you said, pilot pushing was probably the biggest one. Pilots and the industry will suffer without such an association.
If ALPA manuvers through this and remains a national union I will be amazed. If they do the leadership deserves all credit. I think their bad judgment on scope will be their ultimate undoing.
