Allegiant and ALPA

[Chronic Jetlag]

yes, I know one confirmed EAL scab

As far as I know, we have 1 person here that would fit that discription. I believe he crossed at Eastern.

Yup, his name is S. Sessums, EAL scab, then flew for Great American, EVA AIR, National and now Allegiant.

Isn't T. Mason also an eastern scab?

My Bad. I Was Misinformed. I Was Under The Impression There Was A Bunch Of Eastern Scabs There. I Was Corrected And Told There Were Only 2. I did not mean to imply that all the Allegiant pilots are scabs for some reason. Now back to you regularly scheduled ALPA bash.

Ya know, if you REALLY wanted to know, you could have easily cross-referenced your seniority list with the scab list. It 'aint that hard.

No one wants to do homework any more. Everyone is lazy...expecting or believing what everyone else says.

Oh well....it's good folks like that are pilots.

Nope....absolutely none.

ALPA was approached last year. We were told they were too tied-up with other airlines' problems and weren't interested in taking on new/smaller carriers.

Bullsh(&. In the last year, ALPA has organized two airlines that are smaller than Allegiant. ALPA has set aside several millions dollars for organizing activities, and if Allegiant pilots are interested in representation, then ALPA would be happy to conduct a drive. If you want to get it started, just send me a PM and I'll put you in touch with the right people in Herndon.

I think most of us aren't even remotely interested in a ALPA or any other union.

And you know this is bull******************** how???

I believe ALPO was called as recently as 3 months ago and was not interested.

Because I worked for ALPA National on organizing initiatives until recently.

Why must you capitalize every word? That's really annoying.

I've seen that as a result of some old-version Firefox quirk.

The (lack of) content of his post is what annoys me.

Your colorful use of terms to refute my statement are most revealing, as are your assertions and assumptions. I believe you worked for ALPA, I really do. The fact you worked for ALPA makes even more sense as it speaks volumes about the quality of representation at ALPA, it's lack of touch with the industry, complete disregard for its junior members and it's resultant lack of relevance. You must be proud.

For the sake of those who actually want to know the facts, we looked at several unions and (ALPA, TWU, and UTU). We were somewhat smaller then and only the UTU accepted our invitation.

ALPA declined, whether you choose to believe it or not is as irrelevant as the shameful organization ALPA has become.
