It is indicative of the fissures developing within the East pilot group, just as happened with the MEC it's last 5 years or so. You've got the 'Unbiased Facts' crowd, most of whom would presumably vote for the return of ALPA if given a chance. Then 'The Eye' crowd, most of whom support the idea of USAPA but don't like what they see as the current leadership turning it into a monarchy. Finally you've got the supporters of the current leadership - the "best money I've ever spent" crowd.

I think that is a pretty good summary except for the developing part. It's been that way since the election, with a few members changing alliances. I've heard a few former ALPA loyalists are considering becoming members after sitting it out for a while.
