DALPA Dude

Several years of commuting and offering J/S to commuters I have NEVER seen anyone pulling out a list or looked at any list myself. As a matter of fact the only denial of J/S was by an 83-85 CAL hire to a CALEX pilot who thought ALPA would be better for CAL / CALEX, versus remaining independent.
I know, there are people on both extremes of the Bell Curve. Considering that the legitimacy of HKALPA hiring ban is at least highly questionable (even according to their own members), I am surprised you would even consider carrying an illegitimate list which is not sanctioned, furthermore discouraged by the Union itself.
Interestingly, another DAL pilot (my best friend and advisor in this matter) has a completely different view from yours.
Hopefully the upcoming elections will resolve all these.
Keep in mind in other countries unions have much less power and teeth due to unfriendly labor laws and different morals and values of the work group.
If anyone thinks this hiring ban will get or help to get the 49ers jobs back, in China, may need a drug test.
