A Real Union Not Alpo!!

[BoilerUP]

The common perception is that ALPA has sold every REG'L PILOT GROUP down the river!!

Perception is not always reality.

The UAW isn't controlled by the Railway Labor Act like ALPA is.

What does the RLA have to do with a Union telling the company they won't take paycuts?

Not the RLA, but 1113 causes that problem. ALPA is working on a solution.

 

[Dumb Pilot]

Yeah--but who would want to live where your live!

What's wrong with Minneapolis? I know it is cold and all but hardly a place you wouldn't want to live at

When can we expect it to be fixed?

When can we expect it to be fixed?

When ALPA members start serving the profession rather than expecting to be served....



just saying...

 

[CFIT]

But of course......




You forgot to say "send all your money to the ALPA PAC".






Vomit

 

[DX Rick]

When can we expect it to be fixed?

As long as ALPA is in charge....never.
How long have they been working on "Time and Duty"??? Since the 70's??

How are "negotiations" going?

Negotiations for what starfish?

Go play in the street! Your Momma's calling.

With the democrats in charge here pretty soon, it may be sooner rather than later despite ALPA being in charge, as you say. The time and duty issue is a double edged sword and that is why its taken so long to resolve that problem.

Negotiations for what starfish?

I think that that was his point.

Maybe it is time to recall Prater and get ALPA back on track. It seems like a lot of pilots I talk to don't trust the guy. If we are gonna turn this wayward ship (ALPA) around we gotta get a trustworthy, competent captain at the wheel (not Prater).

 

[PCL_128]

Captain Prater certainly isn't ALPA's best president, but he does an ok job. Remember, just two years ago pilots were hailing him as the savior that would rescue them from years of "Woerthless." Pilots just don't like whoever is in charge.

No. Everybody liked Prater until he stopped listening to the general membership on age 65. If someone says they are gonna represent me they had better do it or get the Hell out of the way. I really don't like it when people tell me they are gonna do something and then do completely the opposite behind my back. It makes me wonder what else is being done behind the scenes. Prater has got to go.
