ALPA is better for Colgan pilots interests than Teamsters

[Flyer1015]

I invite you to try and staple us. i think you will be dissappointed in your lack of ability to do so.

The bottom line is that your company was bought out, whether you like it or not, and it's in your best interests to get ALPA on property ASAP. The Colgan pilot group turned ALPA done once, don't make the same mistake again.

Like it's in my hands? I'm just a pawn in management's ugly game.

I dare YOU to get ALPA on your property. ASAP.

You guys couldn't staple us if you really reallly really really really really really really really wanted to. so stop talking this crap already and help us get ALPA by using good substantive arguments in alpas favor

Can we please stop talking about staple-jobs? Nobody is getting stapled. Period. Why continue to bring up that argument?

 

[DoinTime]

On behalf of all Pinnacle pilots I apologize for Flyer1015's irrational, insensitive, and uneducated remarks towards the Colgan pilot group.

That red stapler from Office Space is starting to look more and more attractive.

This is the kind of stupid comment that makes it harder to get a union at colgan. If it was meant to be funny, it wasn't.

Stand-alone unions don't work with employee groups with such low average income levels and such low numbers of employees. They simply don't have the money to fund their union activities. Only huge carriers with high average incomes, like UPS and AMR, can make independent unions functional.

Trust me, I'm suffering through an independent union right now at my carrier. I wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy. We've been in contract negotiations for 3.5 years, and I don't expect another contract for many years to come.
