ALPA: Time to learn from this vote.

[CopilotDoug]

The misinformed pilots are the ones with expectations of ALPA. One only has to look at Mesa and Pinnacle to see the affects of ALPA. Mesa and Pinnacle would still have some of the worst work rules in the industry without ALPA's help. Glad to see the SkyWest pilots opened their eyes to this fact while keeping their dues.

Disregard...

If the sentiments expressed on Flight Info were the prevailing sentiment of the actual pilot population, SkyWest, and Colgan would both be ALPA. This board
predominatly is a union sympathizing, out of touch minority. Come here for entertainment not facts!

Great work ALPA....you lose and lose fair and square. Instead of working to fix the issues at hand, let the zealots begin the destructive work of denying jumpseats and acting like typical union thugs.

Good luck with that!

What are you doing to help?

Unions are more effective the more afraid they are of their workforce. That's why ALPA doesn't respond as quickly to the problems at the regional level -- we're not that scary. It's why all us "union sympathizers" should consider right-to-work rules.

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

Ohh shut the f... up - many people still voted for it.

Didn't they teach you to play nice in Kindergarten?

Didn't your parents teach you to carry your share of the load? Be contributor rather than a hinderence?

Right now ALPA is working to fix the FMLA legislation... something the SKYW pilots will benefit from... but something the SKYW aren't contributing to...

I'd rather give than take...

Are you saying your fellow pilots can go to hell if they don't agree with your beliefs?

Nope... not at all....

But I am going to call them out when some of us are working our tails off the protect and promote this profession and others (SKYW pilots and many ALPA pilots) sit around and make excuses and then chide the very protection they scoff...

Do you need a Col Jessup rant?
