AirTran joins ALPA

[WayBack]

How many ALPA carriers have taken pay cuts in the last 10 yrs? All of them.
Out of all those carriers, how many of their CEO's, CFO's and various management taken a multi million dollar bonus in the weeks following that pay cut? All of them.
That is the spineless "Union" you guys voted in.
By the way, how many former Eastern, CAL scabs are at Airtran these days?

Considering the merger vote numbers at Airtran, what are you proposing?

Any you think any other union would've prevented that? I mean, really? An airline that goes through Chap 11 will see concessions from its unions. Period. And don't forget AA with its mighty former ALPA group gave up 30% of their salary in 2003. If they hadn't it would've happened in Chap 11 anyways.

Hey give it up if you are not 100% pro union, and 100% anti-management, you must be 100% anti-union and 100% pro management. There is no middle ground with many of the union fanatics. Funny how that changes after you go through a couple of union airliner and still loose your job. BTW is it really fair when your lay-off is the result of another ALPA carrier putting your airline out of business?

You see, this is what a GED education gets you. You should probably stick to serving fries.
Clueless!

For me?

Was I supposed to have a GED? Never got one of those.

Then you're even less educated than I gave you credit for, but you still are clueless.

I'm pretty sure that he has a few college degrees, even though his horrible grammar and spelling doesn't indicate so.

One would think with your "industry education" you'd realize you're an ASSOCIATION MEMBER...not a Union member

The Airtran Pilots will figure out in short order that they still have the same pool of pilots to choose from that they did under the NPA. They bought the ALPA sales pitch, hook, line , and sinker...any delusional ideas of "fair" pay or contracts are just that...delusional.

How about a public service announcement from instructordude??

Uh, not quite. Eagle has had pay raises every year for at least the past 12 years.

wrong again... there is more than a name!

Rez...you know where this train is going. It's only a matter of time before you have another group of pilots to point the finger at when the Airtran Pilots become sick of ALPA. They'll ask questions, and want answers...but you'll tell them the problem is with them. "Odd," they'll say, "the ALPA reps painted such a rosey when they were courting our pilot group."

But they're still on the honeymoon...so you'll be hard pressed not to find an ultra-optimistic airtran pilot at this point.

Just give it time...

Hey PFT...how's your bid for Prater's seat coming along? I heard you're growing a mustache and everything...

Not to gang up on Pilotyip, but he is the stereotypical paranoid neoconservative Rush L. character. That will get you two things in Life - a Heart attack at 62 and a not so attractive wife. I feel sorry for him
