Why weren't they interested. I would think any airline that wanted to be represented by them, they would jump at the opportunity. Was Lakes to small or something? If they for some reason have explosive growth and aquire jets would ALPA then come to them and beg to represent them. I think ALPA is a great union and I just want to know how they determine who gets in and who has to fend for themselves. And for those who fend for themselves and grow under another union only then to get the attention of ALPA......

:(
 
CWS you pose a great question...

I would have though that ALPA would love to represent Lakes so they could bring up industry average, eliminate the poor/unsafe work rules and bring up the bar at an airline where it is resting on the floor.
 
Rush Rush don't delay !!!!!!!

Like I said many times,

Vote yes without delay, the mainline guys need your $$$ so that they may have their MEC and Board meetings on 200ft yatchs in Miami. That stuff isn't free you know.

Besides DW needs to authorize himself another raise, 400 grand per year just isn't enough money for the position of braindead, blindfolded jacka$$.
 
No one is going to do anything for us but ourselves. Unfortunately there is a misconception out there that ALPA is the name of some guy who is going to come aboard and fix everything. We are ALPA. We will be Commutair ALPA. We will do things that are best for us, and if big brother wants to Scope us they can do it even if we are non union. Plus scope is good since keeps the big paying jobs at the majors, where I want to be in the future.

Learlove,
If you knew anything about where the dues go you would know that it’s the mainline guys who are subsidizing the regional pilots.
The guys at the majors do make a lot of money, but they also contribute almost all the PAC money.
