The biggest aviation screw jobs. The 4 A's and a stain

[MCDU]

In random order:

Allowing the B-Scale by many greedy pilots.

Allowing RJ's and the scope give away by many greedy pilots.

Age 65 being pushed by many greedy pilots.

Abandoning DOH as a core Union principle by many greedy pilots.

And my two favorite screw jobs. Genital Lee and his sidekick Dope in an RJ.

Back to Taco Bell with you.....

 

[Raoul Duke]

you forgot the biggest screw job of all:

I ordered two taco supremes and fire sauce and I got a bean burrito and a chalupa with mild sauce. This makes me madder than your entire list, please go back and re-read your food service prep manual and try to get the order right next time.

Ahhhh. The dog days of summer.

You write something about something, the people who get offended over it usually get offended because it applies to them. If it doesn't there wouldn't be a need for them to get upset over it because you wouldn't have felt offended.

The greedy pilots are speaking up.

Finish the bottle and go to sleep. Jeez!

The Delta guys (represented here by JohnQ) don't care because they lost their contract in a bankruptcy beatdown, jumped the shark on RJ's LONG ago, their oldest pilots bailed before said bankruptcy so they got the windfall from that AND...they merged with another ALPA carrier so they had no choice other than arbitration.

That ladder got pulled up already.

Actually these are all accurate, I agree with them all.

Reality?

And your point is? It appears to be reality to me. Does one change reality, ignore reality, or rant in futility against reality?

 

[noperf]

yip,

They're good questions to ask in order to understand the demise of, if there ever actually was, unity in aviation trade unionism. I'll ask three more:

Who were the first RJ pilots?

Why did American pilots de-certify ALPA and form the APA?

Was the "umbrella" policy of the IAM beneficial for Mechanics?

 

[BLUE BAYOU]

So you're basically saying that the industry is in ruins because of pilots, then... Airline management, or a lack thereof, had nothing to do with the industry's demise...

"We must all hang together, or assuredly we shall all hang separately."

It seems pilots forgot about this in the late 70's, and really lost the picture shortly after that. Management and the ATA couldn't have done what they've done otherwise.

Not about hanging together

"We must all hang together, or assuredly we shall all hang separately."

Back to the beginning. It is about getting the maximum for one's self, and to do this most will sacrifice almost anything or anybody,

Age 65 was pushed by many that thought that it was the right thing to do, even though it affected them in a negative way.
