Alaska new-hire denied ALPA, Rumor?

[MoroniMetro]

Not intended for flame. I heard of a new-hire at Alaska who was denied ALPA representation because of their "unregistared" status at Skywest. Like I said, purely rumor, just wondering if anyone else has heard anything similar?

I heard something about being affiliated with ASA Dirtbags, therefore being denied. Nothing about non-alpa status though.

Ah, what the heck, I may as well ask.

why isn't moroni a god?

 

[outtahere]

Dirt bags huh? Still better than being morman.

 

[MoroniMetro]

Honestly, just wanted to find out if what I heard was remotely on target. This is the website for that! And by the way Trojan Lover, Alaska would not want to hire an ASA dirtbag because they wouldn't some commuter trying to get to work from across the U.S., unless they lived in DFW, SLC, or LAX. Oops, are those bases still around?

Huh? I guess I could try and contact a couple of the few dozen pilots that have gone from SkyWest to Alaska in the last year or so and find out whats up.

 

[FishandFly]

wow, that's impressive. 36 pilots just from SKYW. How many pilots has AK air hired total this year?

It's mormon, and now I have to change my garment

He's only a God if he is flying a metroliner, anything else is "just hard to belive", like the rest of the story written in the late 1800's, but seriously, what about the new-hire?

You nephite survivor. Hey, can I have my own planet, please, I'll invite you too, if you wash my car and quit calling me a dirtbag.

ALPA doesn't deny membership on that basis, especially since no one at Alaska has even the slightest clue who has sent in a card for the Skywest drive. That information isn't available to the various MECs.

Change?

I don't understand.... Did someone poop their pants? Why do we now need garment changes?

If that's in reference to Trojan's post, he's an ASA dirtbag too. A damn fine dirtbag, but a dirtbag nonetheless.

Maybe I can shed a little light on the subject.

I was at a SkyWest ALPA info meeting listening a pilot from the ALASKA ALPA MEC telling this story.

He said that he was in charge of ALPA orientation for new hires at Alaska. When passing out the required forms to sign up for ALPA he met one of our former SkyWest pilots who was a new hire. He asked him a little about the organizing effort at SkyWest and the pilot admitted that he had not sent in his card. The Alaska guy took the opportunity to kind of give the new hire a hard time, asking why he was so willing to sign up for ALPA at Alaska when he was unwilling to send in a card at SkyWest.

At one point he may have even taken the application for ALPA membership from the new hire temporarily. I don't think he was "DENIED" ALPA membership but he was called out to explain the perceived hypocracy (or apathy).

There may have been another incident I am not aware of but this is the one that I am familiar with.

(Lets all do ourselves a favor and let this thread DIE.)

I will give that Alaska ALPA pilot a BEER!!!! Small world aviation is indeed.

I'm surprised the SKYW pilot didn't simply say how he feels. That each decision he makes in his life has nothing to do with character, they have to do with the pursuit of his self interests.

And somehow one doesn't relate to the other?
