ALPA's vagina is just as big as the NPA's. The only difference is NPA uses a condom. I'll stick with the NPA. Thank you. They did not do much for Delta, UAL,Usair, CMR,NWA, TWA. All or most have lost there pensions and wages and of course scope is now bigger. Ya, I'll stick with the NPA.

In house unions don't have the ability to strike. There is simply no money. Would you like a strike assesment? Another .5%

management knows you won't strike....... thus they have no real motivation to negotiate...
 
AAI pilots need to understand that giving away any form of scope will kill them from the bottom up.
 
New Motto for the NPA should be:
BAD BREATH! BAD BREATH! BAD BREATH!
Garlic for everyone! Tootpaste outlawed!
Tootbrushes will be confiscated.
Chronic Halitosis for ALL!

NO SCOPE! No SCOPE! NO SCOPE!
 
I don't know how profitable 75 seat jets are in this market. Look how fast the Republic E-175 contract got rejected by Frontier in bankruptcy (anybody need 12 E-175's). Now, the Q400's, I'll bet their numbers are a whole lot better on the short/medium length runs.

Never was a big fan of a non-Airtran employees flying Airtran customers. If the flight has a FL code on it, it needs to flown by Airtran pilots who actually have something at stake with the company. Outside regional pilots are usually building time for their next job, and in general are not going to provide as good of an experience as Airtran pilots.

When was the last time an ALPA carrier went on strike?

There was a NWA strike in the 1995-97 time frame, I believe was the last one. Prior to that was the EAL one in 1988-89 or so. CAL struck in 1981, pretty sure.
 
I believe that the APA only represents pilots working at American but you could try them.

Not interested. THE pilots' union is ALPA.

The B-scale boys? That the UAL guys had to fight and WENT ON STRIKE TO DEFEAT!!! Can you tell us what wonderful accomplishments the APA have [ever] done?

If they have done anything... was it before or after the $45MM fine against them?

When was the last time an ALPA carrier went on strike?

Comair was the last.

Mesaba went to brinkmanship.... strike averted in the last hour...

NWA

EAL/CAL

UAL


In house unions don't strike. They don't have the finances to pull it off. Management negotiates knowing this...

Look at the UPS/IPA contract and look at the FX/ALPA contract. The votes in favor for the UPS contract was closer to 2/3 while the FX contract was closer to 93%. More pilots were happy with the FX contract.

ALPA suxs... but they picket where they want and they have more leverage at the table...
