Thanks Again ALPA

WTF - you only pay 1.25% ????

I was getting charged 1.95% !!!!

 

[LanceAir]

No, it's even worse. The MEC Chairman at United signed away the 70 seaters with out a pilot group or MEC vote......yes, he was voted out of office, but a little too late

If you could explain to me how this is possible, and/or how the action hasn't been contested by the pilot group...I would really appreciate.

More of the same, until you guys start knocking some heads.

ALPO- AirLine Pilots thru Outsourcing

ALPA Officers will continually remind the membership that it is not only against the law, but expressly forbidden to "knock some heads" out of fear that ALPA National will be sued. Priorities are priorities...and National's rank well above those of the membership.

Woerth's "Live to Fight Another Day" slogan was just a figure of speech.

Another 175 UA pilots on the street Wednesday...for the second time. More to come in September too!

This while Express grows.

You and your fellow pilots voted for those scope concessions, not John Prater, not the Executive Council, and not the Executive Board. You made your own bed. Now lie in it.

And my 1.25% goes to what again?

Complaining about your union and you're so ignorant that you don't even know what you pay in dues? It's 1.95%, genius. Get informed.

The joke that is ALPA. When there is a Union drive at stake...you're all "brothers"

When things go south, you're on your own. LOVE IT!

Are suggesting that 52,000 individual contractors would be more unified and do better when things go south.....??

How many other pilot groups took job actions to protest the treatment of UAL's pilot group on their latest trip through bankruptcy court? Is that the Unity you're referring to?

Yes, that would have made a lot of sense. Let's send several airlines into Chapter 7 just so you can feel better. The immediate result would have been new draconian laws that make us indentured servants that can't even strike after a cooling off period. Yeah, great idea.

you're already an indentured servant and you don't even know it...

You must have missed the air line pilot strikes that have taken place under the RLA.

When was the last one...Comair? How quickly did management come back and take those gains?

Which ones are you referring to. ALPA has had their a$$ kicked consistently since the 80's. Welcome aboard you people (tranny folks) are living in a fantasy land with this ALPA thing.

Paul Whiteford bravely saved the A fund by selling out scope. Of course, he didn't really save anything. Now he's picking up time saving UAL.

Prater sucked up strike pay like a fat tick. If you fly with guys like him all you hear about the entire time is how wrong it was that guys crossed the picket line. According to him, it was wrong when guys occupied his seat outside the CBA. Of course, when he did no less than the same with 65 it's OK.

The whole problem is generational. Prater and his entire generation are scumbags.
