ALPA: Time to learn from this vote.

[WWEfan]

You are right. He should stick with professional tactics such as denying a jumpseat. THAT WILL TEACH YOU!!!! YOU CAN TURN AROUND THE ENTIRE INDUSTRY WITH ONLY ONE JUMPSEAT DENIAL!!!! DO IT!!!!

He won't be the only one denying jumpseats.

 

[Rez O. Lewshun]

Another question:

How can we support ALPA with such misinformed views of how the system works?

Agreed!

 

[JoeMerchant]

SkyWest pilots, don't be asking for our UNION PILOT jumpseats, and good luck moving on to a UNION mainline carrier.

JP..... this is exactly the attitude that is killing ALPA....

Skywest pilots are all welcome on my jumpseat.....

JP if I find out you are denying Skywest pilots, then you will not ride my jumpseat, and I know who you are.....

Blame ALPA for being a total failure rather than the Skywest pilots.....

For those of you who don't know JP, he was a member of the ASA MEC..... the second most number of votes belonged to him...... Would you want him speaking on your behalf????

 

[Rez O. Lewshun]

Joe.... I don't get it...what are you trying to say?

 

[JoeMerchant]

Joe.... I don't get it...what are you trying to say?

Do you have a specific question, or are you like most ALPA cheerleaders who just don't get it......

Ooooh, go for it. I don't commute. And why would I subject myself to a two hour captive lecture on how much ALPA sucks by voluntarily locking myself in a cockpit with you? Why would anybody? You must be out of your mind. So what if you know who I am... who doesn't?!!!

And thanks for the slam. You really think that I care what anyone thinks of me after all of these years, especially you? Go ahead and tell them... the ones who hate me will still hate me and the ones who like me will still like me. I'm not at work to make friends, I'm there to make money. Yes, I had the second most number of votes and couldn't even use them because of politics. But I never even saw you there. Wonder why... tell me how the Jackson 5 did? How's that glass house, John?

What do I not get Joe?

I think it would be very interesting to break down the vote trends from all the Mesa FO's and CA's who left Mesa to go to SKYW over the past 2 years in fairly significant numbers.

Did their experience at Mesa w/ALPA cause them to lean towards putting it on the SKYW property, lean against it, or was it a non-issue?

Course, we'll never know. I honestly don't know the answer, but it would be most interesting. It would certainly give a lot of insight on how ALPA needs to re-visit this in a year or two.

There IS one Trump card ALPA has though . . . If they negotiate a gold-plated, rock solid, industry leading contract in record time at a dump like Mesa (currently contract-amendable), they'll be a shoe in at all sorts of airlines.

The opposite may also be true.

THe question is.... are there pilots with enough courage and character to step up to theplate and use the ALPA resource to get it done?

Any one out there with courage.... or are you just waiting for the ALPA fairy to come by and make your life wonderful....
