Boy.... this democracy thing sucks.... let's go back to the way it was....
Unreal. I believe a pilot who's between the age of 60-65 should be limited to 8 hours of duty per day. That is a regular work day for an individual in the United States. Minimum flight pay should also be no less than 90 hours per month (what most carriers are flying now).
Will pilot groups fight for the above rules or will we bend over and continue to be waterboarded up the rear?
Democracy is about Majority rules.......not a minority group of self serving greedy pricks.
FO pay will have to go up. Additionally, I will roll over on A funds and other retirement bennies to get it. Contract negotiations will be a bit different from here on out. Young guys will vote for cash and the geezers will try to sweeten the retirement packages.
I will try to secure a retirement from outside the industry and will happily trade the companies plan for up front cash. Others will do the same I'm sure.
Company negotiators will pander to the bottom of the list and I would guess the pay scales will be bottom loaded to get contracts ratified. I'm in!!
Sorry... that is not how democracy in our republic works...
A small clique of organized and unorganized pilots basically beat out the apathetic majority.
APAAD formed a small organized group and politiked congress.
ALPA surveyed its members: a minority particapted. A majority of the minority wanted the change.
The rest, the majority, sat on the uncollective asses and posted on message boards inder moniker names and showed.....no one.....anything....
Now, the do-nothing gang is calling for massive changes at ALPA.... funny stuff..
