AAI removes negotiating chairman

[malibuVride]

Trust me, there's more to this than meets the eye!

TO has to go back to training, and he will be screwed on his pay. The new Vice Chair and Sec/Tres with only get 70. Pathetic! Now LH is going back to flying some as well. Looks like cutting corners to save money.

ATN ALPA has been a financial burden on National, and that won't continue. This group has very limited resources and now we have committees shutting down, pay for full-time guys going down, etc. Maybe the last Sec/Tres was right and an assessment is neccessary evil. I just can't imagine throwing more money at an organization with this level of disfunction!

malibu, it's not true that ATN ALPA is a burden on the Association. The MEC has been turning a surplus for months now. None of this has anything to do with money problems.

"We can't blame ALPA for our own apathy and stupidity."

At least Piggy knows how he got elected.

There was no outstanding loan from ALPA national that still needs paid back?

To be clear, it was the Chairman of the Contract Negotiations committee, not the Merger Committee.

I'll save my opinions on ATN71 business for our internal message board.

Ok, Ill read your opinion on that message board then.

Unfortunately it is the truth. When SWAPA takes over as our union they need dump every current ALPA rep. Hold no one over for any amount of time.

Unfortunately, that's not how it works. You guys will have domicile reps and be responsible for electing those who represent YOU.

I realize that. What I mean is no current reps keep their position. No deals. Fresh start.

So now that we've all worked through the emotion of it all............

Why was the dude fired?

And was he or was he not involved in WN negotiations?

Gup

Don't mean to dig on you.
It sounds like these guys got to go. But it's funny how those who are compelled to union involvement find their way in it- a lot of the USAPA guys are the same ones USAIR threw out with alpa. Theres work to be done representing- even at great-culture-swa - and if the good men and women won't do it- there will be opportunities for the bad.

No one wants to be scratching their head thinking ...' how the hell did THOSE guys get back in??....'
