Alpa President Starting To Show Signs Of Leadership

[regionaltard]

What was the arbitratior's decision anyway?

That West Captains weren't just keeping the seats warm for East guys on the street.

So both groups followed the merger policy to the "t". But one pilot group doesn't like the results so they stomp their feet and request a new arbitration? What happens when they don't like that one? They request another?

What was the arbitratior's decision anyway?

It's a relative seniority based on ratios. If you were Jr. prior to the merger then you remain Jr. The east wants DOH something that hasn't been in the merger policy for years. The fail to see the difference between longetivity and seniority!! These are two very different things.

This thread is about Prater's leadership abilities.

How has he shown any leadership in the East/West conflict. The East still is ready to bolt. If the East bolts Prater's leadership will really be shown.

Age 60 did not show Prater's leadership. Prater disregarded the majority's will and choose his own selfish interests as he had supported age 65 without regard for the majority before the Blue Ribbon panel and afterwards.

Leadership is about self sacrifice, managing the interests of the whole above self, dealing with time, making the hard calls, mentoring the future followers so as not to created a void at the top with one persons departure, creating unity, and moving a forward in some positive direction. Prater has not produced any of those results yet. He has made a few speeches, come up with a few slogans, divided the group against itself in every situation he has faced so far, and hurt the future of the organization by dividing the pilots himself with age and seniority issues.

I agree. He should have presented the list to Doug a month ago.

All I could think of while watching was Motivational Speaker Matt Foley....

When I see Prater on camera I expect him to say:

"Then it sounded like a freight train. The trailer next to us just up and disppeared. That's when I knew we best run fer it."

Meanwhile you got 60,000 independent contractors that pay ALPA dues wondering when Prater is going to customize his leadership to each individual whim...

Leadership is very important... but you cant have leadership without followership... and right now the ALPA followership suxs hind titty.... worse than the leadership....

You can control your followership... and you can only influence the leadership...
