I don't know what you are talking about. Is there a question in there somewhere?
AMFA does not have much to offer for someone who sits on the sidelines and pisses and moans about "the union". I have no idea if that describes you. Most who understand the AMFA will understand what that means, and can assign that definition to those they know. I am sure it applies to some keyboard warriors here.
It seems as though you are somewhat irritated with me. So here you go:
I have an MBA. Now you have something to run with. (;-/
I for one agree with many of your opinions, not all, and have not even spent time to read them all.
I am offering no magic bullet as to the AMFA desire and movement, I also know that if apathy continues as it is with the TWU when we change Unions, then there will still be issues. I am under the opinion that the apathy comes from lack of membership control, which leads to loss of involvement, and that there are many ways under a member friendly Union Consitution to reverse the apathy. It is a fact though, that getting the cards signed is the easy part, and after certification the hard work would begin at that time.
I am willing to spend my time and effort into both the activity towards change and whatever leadership position I best fit into once the real change begins.
I have actively been studying plans and ideas to assist in changing the culture of our profession at American Airlines once we get a new Union. In contrast, there is absolute zero chance of positive change as long as the TWU remains. It is sad the TWU cannot defend the track record and history that is owned by the pathetic and mostly apppointed leadership of the TWU. When any organization has to rely on lies, fear, and outside influence to remain on the property, is there any chance that Union will ever succeed? NO
I don't view most of your views as anti-AMFA, or anti-Union, but some find that any negative truth about the harsh reality of how difficult effective change is as an attack on the idea, but only because they have not thought ahead and invisioned the problem and the solution from beginning of the problem, the current status, and what it would take to reach a effective conclusion or overall victory for the craft and class and AA, and the whole profession. This is a huge task, we are attempting to make happen.
Thank You for your input.
