Airtran Pilots if you want change vote for Schroll

[PCL_128]

Make sure you know the whole story about his lawsuit against the NPA in fact you seemed pretty ingaged and that is a good thing so call John yourself if you don't you will be voting out of ignorence.

Yep, I've gotten the details about the lawsuit. But it doesn't matter, as far as I'm concerned. There's never a valid reason to sue your own union, because suing your union is the same thing as suing your fellow pilots. The money comes from their pockets. If you have a problem with your union, then you work to get involved and change things; you don't file a lawsuit.

Remember our own attorney snooped in on Brad's website to stick it to Rich, there is no telling how low they will go, and hence the reason to seriously consider John Schroll if you want change.

Mike Best will provide the change that we need. His ideas along with his experience are the best possible combination.

he really shouldn't of been on the list in the first place.

That's highly debatable.

Going to Mike Pons-Best letter and nothing to gain!

No anger between mike and the company !

Mike Pons has no experience. I'd love to vote for him in one of the other elections coming up next month, but he doesn't belong in the head spot until he gets some more experience.

A Scab should never hold a union position....period. Even if he is the "best" canidate. When the chips are down and it comes time to do the right thing, even if it costs you financially, you must do it. Scabs have not. We as pilots must listen to the little voice in our heads, our conscience. Scabs either don't listen to theirs or ignore it....both are dangerous.

why i won't vote for john schroll

First,him and his supporters want to give away our industry leading reserve system (concession).
second,he didn't write his position paper himself,so how am i suppose to know if he really stand by what it said?!
third,using my money to pay for his legal fee,i don't think so.

I've known MB since he was a newhire. He's smart and extremely dedicated to the pilot group. I've worked with him in the cockpit and in the union office. There is never a question as to where his loyalties lie.

BTW, completely unrelated, but next time you talk to him, ask him how his first leg of newhre IOE went.

Who wrote his position paper? This just keeps getting worse.

 

[curtis46]

oops!should have kept this to myself.
to be fair he signed his name so i assume he agrees on everything written.

DS, the guy that led the recall effort, that's who wrote Schroll's letter. DS is trying to ride Schrolls' coattails into office since he can't get elected on his own, with his "checkered" past.

 

[ultrarunner]

Just the fact that someone has to be told not to vote for a scab for a union position is inconceivable...

What's even more inconceivable Phaedrus is that being a "SCAB" does NOT disqualify someone from running and holding a position in the UNION. I can't believe that!

There is no reason whatsoever that someone shouldn't submit a resolution prohibiting union involvement by SCABS.

Or am I missing something here?

I figured as much. He's working overtime to defend Schroll. Neither of these guys belong in office. We'd be begging for even Philpot after dealing with them for too long.

I think CAL has or has had in the past some scabs in the union office.

What the pilots of AirTran need is a LEADER! This union needs a leader that knows the contract and is willing to stand up for it. This union needs a leader who can be tough when it is appropriate. This union needs a leader who is not afraid to kick this pilot group in the ass when time to bring this pilot group together. This union needs a leader that has experience. This union needs a leader that will not be intimated by management. This union needs a leader that will rally this pilot group. This union needs what it hasn't had since I've been here, LEADERSHIP! This union can't negotiate a fair contract without leadership. Guess what the NPA needs........Mike Best!
Right now the position papers speak volumes to me. Mike Best wrote a very well thoughtout position paper explaining to this pilot group what he would do as president. It will be a challenge, but the challenge will be getting the pilots here to get involved and back the leadership of whomever becomes president. NPA is the pilots of AirTran! We must vote and then support our President, his administration, and read and understand and follow our current and future collective bargaining agreement.

FOLKS, make sure you VOTE!

 

[vtwo]

not my fight BUT

are any of the Tranny's really thinking of voting for a SCAB to represent them for anything?///

What the h311 is wrong with you?

Again....someone tell us why all of us on FI need to know about this election....if all of us can't vote...then go to your own private boards and hash it out...

Otherwise STFU already....many of us don't care

You see the title at the top that says "AirTran pilots?" If you don't want to read about it, then don't click the frickin' thread.

This topic (and many others) is already being discussed in detail on www.airtranpilots.org

I don't understand why airtran pilots are willing to pay to join this site when much better information is available for free.

It's all anonymous here. Over on Brad's site, everyone can see your real name in your profile. Some guys like to keep it anonymous.

Why? What are they scared of?
