Wonder if the Atlas membership will follow him over...
Lets see. A pilot group with large numbers of PanAm, TWA and former regional pilots....
I will tell you this. I have not heard one word--not one word--in support of ALPA in the past few days. Not from guys who fought the Eastern battle to the bitter end, not from guys with 20+ years of ALPA committee work, not from guys who were instrumental in getting ALPA onto the Atlas property in the first place. Not one word.
And it is not just Atlas. It was not long ago that the idea of a USAirways, Northwest or United leaving ALPA was unthinkable. Now all of them may be gone in short order. And it all comes down to ALPA's butchering of mergers.
