USAirways and the PBGC

[Crzipilot]

So then....Uhmmm...what is national there for, besides a shiny magazine. I would obviously be wrong, But my understanding of having a "Mother Ship" is to make sure the children running the asylum don't make a jail break. I.E. Why is every contract and LOA signed by the PRESIDENT OF ALPA. he's gotta approve it right??? So uhmmmm....ya ....

whatever, ALPA has failed in their charter. Plain and simple. Yes the union is of it's members. BUT when those in charge have taken over and neutered the ability of the members to recall and such, what is one to do. Get rid of the union.

why oh why did ALPA spend more money on trying to keep the USAir pilots in the fold, then they did trying to save our pension?????

Oh that's right. The usair pilots did it all......

If they succeed, we'll be back to the old concession stand open 24/7 to management, only this time they will be giving away stuff for both groups!

Psst, they (USAPA) already are. They're eviscerating the AWA contract one giveaway at a time. Their hope is that once they gut the contract (Bradford's warped sense of "parity") the company will just have to give them something in return. They just HAVE to!

While you like to believe that APA supports USAPA, can you cite where they (APA) have agreed to participate in binding arbitration, then circumvented that agreement when the results didn't suit them?

Unless I'm misinterpreting the eyerolls I get from pilots from other airlines when USAPA is mentioned, I think there's much less support for the Integrity-Challellenged F/O Club than you think.

And lastly, please, guys, see the "We're getting our pension back" campaign for what it is: A DISTRACTION, designed to take the focus off USAPA's inability to negotiate a contract because management doesn't take these fools seriously. I wish it was something of substance, but it isn't.

Well, given the track record of USAPA so far and since USAPA is a clone of the AAA MEC (post Nicolau), a pattern of ineptness does begin to appear.

Ha....that just might be the most ignorant post I've seen this year! Clone...riiight.

AAA MEC promised permanent separate operations and USAPA has obliged (in the abscence of actually being able to accomplish something productive).

Good luck, sorry you only have USAPA on your side. This is one example that ALPA's deeper resources would probably be to your advantage.

ALPA protecting a pension?! Did you just wake up, Rip Van Winkle?
