I would hope that since ALG and PDT have ratified their agreements as well that the PSA ALPA leadership no longer feels that it is necessary to negotiate on its own.

We would not wish to burden them with having to speak for or decide upon anything for our two pilot groups. Im sure that they have only the best intentions, but it would probably be best if they allow us to participate and carry our share of the negotiating burden...
