Are you just plum out of Christmas spirit, shorts in a knot, or did ALPA steal your first born? I'm not thrilled by them (EAL 1989), but "giant leech" maybe just a little over the top.

PS They did give us duty/trip rigs, keep management honest, sponsored many professionally important programs, do represent the members in safety investigations, etc. Not a great bargainer who looks at the long-term, but needed.
