If I sign my card do I get a benefit of free porn? I like porn! Or how about a ball scratcher, I could use one of those too.

Nice try Mikey and TB! hopefully, some of the these new hires will take the 2 minutes it takes to get on-line and research these specific airlines and see that they do have union representation! No captain raises in 6 years? ever heard of the rising cost of inflation? Hopefully, your new ires are a little bit smarter than to just believe what you are telling them in your emails and employee website!

Grey, I hate to break it to you, but if they're in class at COLGAN, they're probibally not the brightest. Of all the places they had to go to, they picked the Corky of all airlines?

Inversely, I find it really adorable that ALPA wouldn't use Colgan as a floor mat until they were bought by Peanuckle. Cute. ALPA is a joke, but Colgan just might be a bigger joke... Jury is still out.

Moreover, while the union might claim it can improve work rules, have you looked at your
work rules lately? You will be impressed by them if you do. And these rules didn’t cost
you anything—certainly not nearly 2% of your salary!
Take the time to carefully review all the facts. We will be happy to answer any questions
you might have. Come talk to us!
Sincerely,
Michael J. Colgan
President


Ya FAR's are great work rules!, Ya lets tell the FAA to lower everything and we can have a 20 hour duty day.

I know your a pinnacle guy so i won't use any big words. You really think the pilots at colgan are not bright? Sorry they don't fly the barbie jet, or they don't have shinny jet "sydrome", oh sorry big word.

ALPA would have been more than happy to organize Colgan at any point in time, regardless of Pinnacle. ALPA never seeks out airlines to organize. We always wait for the pilots at those airlines to come to us. When a pilot group comes to us, that means that the chances of success are much greater. Otherwise, we could waste millions of dollars on trying to organize pilot groups that really don't have anyone willing to step up to the plate and be part of a strong organizing committee. There have been pilots at Colgan for years that have wanted to bring ALPA on the property, but they didn't feel that they would be successful at the time. With the acquisition by Pinnacle, there was a catalyst to demonstrate to the pilot group just why representation is so important, so those pilots called ALPA to get the drive started.
 
Colgan pilots,

Ask ALPA how it is fighting whipsaw between carriers and ask them about the conflict of interest between the mainline pilots and the regional pilots within a brand - watch them squirm.....

Translation: My career expectations aren't being met so I decided to sue ALPA. Sure there are plenty of real reasons but I can't sue terrorist, the free market economy and my company, so I'll just sue ALPA. It isn't going well for me and my lawsuit clique, the RJDC, so I am very bitter about ALPA. Any chance I get to be biased I take. I can't be objective about ALPA. I just hate all things ALPA. ALPA is the sole source of all my misery.


Joe.... Joe...... Joe...

You are acting like the only only one who has had hardships in past 6 years.... We all have.... Why should the rest of us ignore our own pain to give you sympathy? get over yourself... find a hobby... take a nap.... get a massage...
 
Johnny (Joe) is too lazy to even do that. He hasn't sued anyone. He just comes on this board (and the national boards) and screams his support for someone else's lawsuit.

I beg to differ. I know Pinnacle pilots. Pinnacle pilots are friends of mine... and I, sir, am no Pinnacle pilot.

It is not that I think that Colgan pilots are not bright. I know for a fact that Colgan has both ends of the spectrum. What I WAS implying is that new hires at Colgan are not bright. Surely they have someone to warn them about the "wrong place to go". (I don't know who I was quoting just now, but I felt the urge to use the quotation marks... is that wrong?) There are good places to go, and there are bad places to go. Go to the good place, to the happy place... that place is not run by monkeys.

Some day, Little-Boy-Grey, I'll explain.

How about I ask about scope. How about the 60 rule? How about the ALPA strike shortly after 9/11. Or how many ALPA employees were laid off after 9/11. ALPA simply cares about one thing... Money. The more 1.95% they get going their way, the better. I still have yet to see a concerted, focused, direct, and logical reason for a Colgan pilot to sign the card. Do us that favor. Cut-and-dry... lay it out. Between now and then, ALPA is a joke, and Colgan is the punch line (for today).

Rez,

Look who's talking. Your either on the Herndon payroll, or it is you who needs a hobby. You can't wait to come out and wave the ALPA flag any chance you get. The fact that you don't understand the root cause of the RJDC lawsuit proves that ALPA still doesn't get it. There is a conflict of interest within ALPA, and until ALPA realizes it and fixes it, nothing will change.

My career expectations have worked out better than many within ALPA as we didn't fall for the flowthrough "3 Card Monty" BS that ALPA has been peddling.

Sounds like the NWA MEC has voted against pushing for a single list with NWA and MSA. I also see that management is transfering 15 aircraft from PCL to MSA. Boy that Brand Scope is really impressive over there.... I think I'll pass.....

So obviously I'm not looking to get rich off the lawsuit.... looks like you guys need some new material......

Well, since the judge threw out every single monetary claim of the two lawsuits anyway, it looks like none of you idiots are going to get rich off the backs of the ALPA membership! Pretty soon the final ridiculous claim will be dismissed on summary judgment and we'll be able to put this petty lawsuit behind us. Hey, look on the bright side: with the RJDC and their silly little lawsuit defeated, you'll have much more time to spend with your older girlfriend!

How's that Brand Scope working out for you RedTail folks......

I'm doin' just fine, thanks.
