Interesting that again I have been told that my expectations were not valid. The only expectation I have stated was that I expected my union to represent my interests with honor and integrity.
Define honor and intergrity...mix in reality too...
I did not expect alpa to protect me as you stated. Had alpa acted with integrity the result may very well have been the same.
So.. you say ALPA didn't act with integrity but you are now using the "Scalded McDonalds Coffee" tactic (IOW no integrity) to respond?
You are right, reality won't change. the reality for me is that I will not belong to and support an organization that lacks integrity and honor....namely alpo.
I guess the real question is... integrity and honor... and YOU get to define it...
So you and Rez can don your alpa cheerleading outfits and dance around in circles all you want it changes nothing. In fact the sad thing is it doesn't appear that you even see the need for change within alpa.
All you talk about is what ALPA didn't do for you.... what did you do for the profession? Did you actively envoke positive change.. me thinks you are a taker... for your TWA career... your moral, legal and honorable, obligation ended with dues money. Tell me I am wrong.
good luck with that, I don't see any further benefit watching you guys talk in circles.
We have actually asked for clear, unemotional facts to explain the TWO pilots position. The only facts we have gotten are from legal docs.
In addition, you said you are ready to burn ALPA down and disregard the 60,000 members who still use ALPA has thier representation... I am trying to find honor in that..
My view is concise and constant:
1-alpa lacks honor and integrity
2-alpa has become an ineffective bloated bureauacracy no longer interested in the views of the members
3-I believe the TWA pilots lawsuit will succeed.
You want a financial award for YOU regardless of the impact on 60,000 other pilots... got it!
