The other day radio commentator Dave Ross was speaking on the absurdity of United Airlines financial woes given the fact that said airline is majority owned by....it's own employees, of which the pilot group is the largest class. He ended by stating that it would indeed be an event when a company folded because if its own employee/owners.
In other threads, there is discussion of ALPA's "agenda".
I submit that since the pilots of United are quite tied up with ALPA, ALPA will ultimately dictate what is to become of the airline, and with it, the future of ALPA itself.
When he died in 1902, Lord Acton was considered one of the most learned people of his age, unmatched for the breadth, depth, and humanity of his knowledge. He has become famous to succeeding generations for his observation -- learned through many years of study and first-hand experience -- that "power tends to corrupt, and absolute power corrupts absolutely." & "Liberty is the prevention of control by others."
