ALPA loses at Skywest

[Jmoney]

Joe Merchant.....

For those here who are unfamiliar with Joe Merchant: His one and only mission is life over the last few years has been to promote the ideals of the RJDC (RJ Defense Coalition)

The RJDC is a group that was formed to sue ALPA. The reason they want to sue ALPA. I personally believe it was started and perpetuated by mgmt. to damage ALPA without any connection being made with their involvement.

The purpose of the RJDC is simply to screw ALPA. They come up with all sorts off goofy reasons like "branded scope" and "representation." The bottom line is that you can't scope someone as a sub-contractor-which is what we all are, and will always be.

ALPA isn't at fault for these realities of the business-yet, the RJDC is dedicated to suing their butts off for these factors which are beyond ALPA's control.

This is where Joe comes from. He is pissed off guy who is mad at the world. This is why the RJDC appeals to him. If he can't enjoy life, his objective is to dedicate his time to something like the RJDC that attempts to break the union so many others will not be able to enjoy life themselves.

-Sad, just sad.....

Not only that, but Joe has an ax to grind now because the RJDC just turned out to be a dismal failure, settling with ALPA in a settlement that didn't even cover their 7-figure legal fees. The RJDC was a sham, a joke, and an abject failure.

Bingo.

So how do we move on from here? We all know JA had a plan A and a plan B depending on how the vote went. Even when the TA passes at ASA do we:

Begin to slowly transfer a/c and shrink ASA
Have the ASA name disappear yet maintain seperate op cert. and workforce

Any guesses on the JA plan A

That's a great story. If it makes you feel better for throwing yourself at Brad's mercy, then go ahead and keep telling it.

Thank you for hammering my point home.


The unprofessionalism you and others display is a DIRECT reflection of the type of representation we would enjoy with ALPA. I want REAL representation...not some shell that takes my 2% and spends 5 years to get less than I have now. And please...don't try and BS me...this is straight out of the mouth of the OC members I questioned.

You want to flip off management and bad mouth everyone who doesn't fall in line with your ideas...do it on your own dime.

These people keep posting...and you wonder why only 36%?

Please....PLEASE...one of you unprofessional, name calling, threatening, chest thumping ALPA supporters...stop me in the terminal and call me a _______ (scab, idiot, bafoon, moron, cronie, etc.) to my face. I'll be happy to take you outside and show you what color my belt is.

YOU are the reason ALPA failed at SkyWest.

IF you want real representation.... then if the vote passed what committee or elected representation position where you planning on going for?
