I feel that the company is obviously going to try to get the NMB to release us. Do you think the NPA has the ability and more importantly the resources to handle a possible strike? If we do go on strike what kind of strike benefits will the NPA provide?
I know many of you have understandably strong feelings against ALPA, but I want you to consider (like I have) how things were at your former ALPA carrier to the current state of the NPA. We can't get a grievance settled in under two years. We have leaders calling the cops to settle a little office cat fight. While the NPA is worried about fostering “good will”, the company laughs at us while they use our contract for toilet paper. I feel, if your back is put against the wall (a'la Rich M) you are on your own.
It's time to get a team of professionals (that don’t fly airplanes) that know and understand what we are up against, some national oversight to keep on eye on what our dues money is being used for and a return of our hostage and furloughed pilots.
