ALPA is the primary airline pilots union in the U.S., but not the only

American has their own union (Allied Pilots Assn.), and Continental (now
ALPA) used to have an independent one as well. Some airlines may be
represented by the Teamsters, but I'm not sure anymore.

Continental was ALPA. Lorenzo used bankruptcy to can all the union
pilots. After Eastern was brought into Texas Air, there was an attempt
to reunionize Continental, which never happened (too many immovable
groups involved). It's only the post-Eastern post-Lorenzo Continental
that got reunionized.

There's always a tenuous union arrangement when two airlines get merged.

Ya'll need to shut the door on this crossposting stuff. You're letting the
rif-raf in!
