What's worse is that ALPA is condoning working for free... What other union would allow this, let alone advertise this??! Someone PLEASE explain this.
Or maybe not... Do YOU know for certain, either way? Obviously not. So why, then, do you rush to defend ALPA not knowing the full story?First of all, does it make sense that ALPA National would tell a bunch of guys to go fly airplanes for free if there was little to no likelihood that they weren't going to be paid? Yeah, yeah. ALPA sucks, blah, blah, blah. But if you can put the emotion aside, ALPA doesn't gain anything by telling these guys to fly for free. Like I said before, there's probably more to it than any of us know.
Why not? I'm not happy that ALPA signed off on this, either. They've dropped the ball again and again and again in the last decade. Aloha is just another in the long line of bad decisions from Herndon - can't say as I'm surprised.Second of all, the Aloha pilots and MEC are big boys and girls. ALPA National can "advise" all they want. It's the Aloha MEC and ultimately their pilots to decide whether they fly or not. If you want to direct your anger at someone, I suggest you direct in the correct direction.
She never said that. You let your emotion get in the way of interpreting what she said and it biased your interpretation.Third, you think the deck being stacked against labor in bankruptcy is some sort of excuse? So you're arguing that labor isn't at serious disadvantage during a bankrutcy proceeding? Have you been following along during the past few airline Chapter 11 cases? Did you notice how many times our bankruptcy judge gave management carte blanche to execute their plans? Again, your emotions get in the way of logic.
And, when you can no longer argue effectively, you go for the personal slam and mud-slinging, as always. Reduces everything you say to complete rubbish by not staying within the confines of logical debate and resorting to off-topic-bashing.I think you said you are going to law school. Great. When are you leaving?
Now the People's Republic of Hawaii found itself without air cargo service...
