Now THAT'S funny....

 

[BILL LUMBERG]

Like ALPA or hate em.....Airtran pilots don't have their head in the sand like the pilots in the blue shirts. Good for the Airtran turnout. Sends a unified message to management more than anything.

THERE, I've awaken the blue defenders......standing by for the incoming cheerleaders.

Congrats guys, you've got what you want now, make it work!

 

[RedDogC130]

So how many independent unions are left?

AA
SWA
UPS
America West

am I missing anyone?

 

[Lear70]

Incredibly great news!! I'm incredibly proud of my brothers and sisters at AirTran and hope this level of involvement holds as we move forward.

You can bet, if we continue to get such large numbers of pilots involved in shaping their own career, that things will change in Orlando, even if we have to drag them kicking and screaming along with us.

Great job!

America West

Easy, now. AWA pilots voted 99.9% to keep ALPA. Only because of the deluded USAir guys did AWA lose ALPA. (Not that ALPA is so great, but when the choice is Bad or Worse one chooses Bad.)

I'd like to take this opportunity to thank a certain senior Capt for his tireless efforts helping to ensure the large voter participation and huge margin of victory. :nuts:

 

[becket]

That's GREAT!!!!!

Now, Please tell Prater to go Eff himself...compliments of the former America West Pilots he so happily screwed over.

Prick.

95% Voter Participation rate

88% voted YES for ALPA

12% voted NO for ALPA

95% participation rate? Wow, that's impressive. Congrats guys. I hope that 95% participation rate continues...

 

[AutoBus]

Wow,

95% participation. Maybe the apathetic nature has turned.

88% yes. Wow.

Wow congrats! I remember when we were ALPA before ******************************

I've been moderated! I guess the truth about USAPA is a dirty word!

 

[jetflier]

Congrats to all at AT. The "nay sayers" will always find something to bi#ch about, that's just the way they are. And we have to remember that ALPA is Us. We make it happen. It's a process that is sometimes slow, but without it, we are truly at the mercy of management's whims.
As a pilot who was wrongly diagnosed with a possible career ending medical condition, I can only say that all my ALPA dues were worth it. The support from the folks at ALPA Aeromedical division was crucial to maintaining my career and returning to the cockpit. I hope that none of you has to go through having your career wrongly ended from a midiagnosis. It's comforting to know that ALPA is there to help you through any situation......now I'll ge off my soapbox...........

The board will approve this, they just want the dues. They would let Greyhound in if it would profit them.

I can get you a USAPA application if your interested...
