I wouldn't say that was awe inspiring...but valid...

The APA is a valid bona fide union... And they've done good controlling their pension. Wish ALPA wouldv'e done that, but I don't know the whole story.

My point... we shouldn't make the APA out to anything more than it is.... it is an in house union with very limited CapHill/gov't influence. Their ability to finance a strike is limited... management knows and negotiates as so....

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?


...

News flash the B scale was still around AFTER the UAL strike in 85. Another week ALPA effort.

PCL=We can tell you love your ALPA !!!

Alot of people at Airtran came from ALPA carrier, and don't care to use their services, like several airlines in the past year.

Funny=ALPA is going to rely more on regional pilots than majors in the future, IRONIC!!!

The strike word at Airtran can not even be used right now!

Coward. I wish you would have stayed at ASA.

Are you serious?? How many years past the amendable date should we wait and how much reinterpretation/abuse of the current CBA should we allow before we're able to use "the strike word" here???

News Flash: most FO's, along with the junior captains, have very little to lose at the current pay scales and work rule "reinterpretations".

When a rumor was going around last month that the Company was going to ask for a pay cut in exchange for furlough protection, every single pilot I talked to said, "NO WAY". The mood is not at all as accommodating as in years past, due to the Company's behavior since the Contract became amenable.

In fact, a 717 newhire FO told me, "I would be one of the first ones furloughed, and I STILL would hope that you guys would vote that down. I would rather be on the street than see this place get any worse".

And that's a newhire.

So, Scarlet, lose the kneepads, forget all that crap you were fed by senior pilots who hope you are willing to keep subsidizing their pay, and start thinking for yourself. This place used to be filled with people like you . . . . thankfully, that has changed.

I'm betting 50% of the guys over at the Tranny would cross the line.:laugh::laugh::laugh:

So the APA agreed to the B scale. Ferris wanted the B scale at UAL... the ALPA guys struck UAL and eventually stopped the B scale at UAL and the B scale still existed at AMR (at the time?).

The APA is cool and ALPA sucks?

Got it.....

The Pinnacle pilots have been picketing and voted to allow their MEC to call a strike....

The Pinnacle pilots have been picketing and voted to allow their MEC to call a strike....

Not surprising for a union focusing on success of regional carriers.

Should I have waiting for you to reply to post #86?

Not sure what you are trying to say here. If that is directed toward me #86 is what i replied to.
