Congrats ALPA!!!! You fked us AGAIN!!

You fked yourselves. Your pilots negotiated, your pilots accepted the TA and your pilots voted. ALPA national just provided resources. You as a pilot group could have kept negotiating and ALPA national would have kept providing resources. You as a pilot group can vote this down and ALPA national will continue to provide resources. You can't blame ALPA national for your pilot groups weakness. Only you (Alaska pilots) are responsible.

You sound like my teenage daughter trying to shift the blame when she screws up.

Alaska just made back the entire raise plus a bunch more. Our NC was duped. This is why pilots should not negotiate. Leave it to professionals like the company does.

Yeah. No schit genius. Where does 50% of the Alaska dues money go? Herndon. That's where. The same place that w************************* itself out assigning different values to different members of their "union". If you're satisfied sucking off the biggest parasite to this profession that has ever existed go ahead. Just don't be so ufcking naive to believe that the fat pricks in Herndon would lift a finger to help this,profession.

Looking forward to a big Skywest RJ contract announcement. Some pilot groups will never learn from history.

I like the line in the email...

"The Negotiating Committee and Management are still working on administrative clean up items before a final version of the contract can be published."

Uh, what? So it may just be a few words here and their, but everybody knows a "shall" being changed can change an entire section....we should have been voting on the final contract. Should not need to tweak anything.

On another note, the fact that the MEC passed this POS unanimously and the pilot group had 1/3 of the pilots against it, we need to reevaluate our MEC and vote in some people who seem to be more in touch with the 1/3 of this group. Obviously, the MEC isn't doing a good job of representing "all" pilots.

On a totally unrelated note, Alaska stock is up 3% today......

 

[Old School 737]

Just had a trip denied for lack of coverage !! I thought new contract was gonna fix that ..

On another note seeing first guys VSA right now !! Wow !!! Nice work !

 

[ImbracableCrunk]

My simple math says Yes 843 No 415.

One of the 415.

 

[tico]

1 of 415.....at least we have a few more union brothers and sisters...

I'd love to see a breakdown of the vote by seat, although it would only further divide the pilot group.

Still, it'd be an interesting statistic for any NC to keep in mind.

I voted no, but it's over now. Best we all start learning how to live under this one (even though language is still being worked out).

Straight from the CP today. "Hiring numbers won't be anywhere near what we thought earlier this year"

Get comfy folks.

:erm:
