Ending the Conflict of Interest at ALPA National Whereas having Major and Regional Airlines in ALPA has created a conflict of interest with respect to scope clauses leading to lawsuits, insufficient protections and ultimately reduced pay and growth for the Delta Pilots and Whereas our Union has not found an adequate nor acceptable solution to this problem, Whereas despite this conflict of interest we recognize the many areas of common interest between Major and Regional Airlines including safety, security, government affairs, etc., Be it resolved that the pilots of Council 44 direct their LEC make every effort to split ALPA into two distinct unions, one for Major Airlines and one for Regional Carriers while forming a Federation for both of these unions to pursue common interests and Be if further resolved that the Pilots of Council 44 direct their LEC Officers to present a similar resolution to the MEC including the stated goals of: Identifying the position of every candidate for ALPA President on this issue and Support only candidates for all ALPA National Office that take aggressive action to end this conflict of interest within their first year in office and To only support and vote for candidates that declare their intent to run for office with publicly stated positions before August 2010
