Last month's ALPA magazine has Woerth talking about how great the state of the union is!!
We've got managment whipsawing wholly owned regionals one against the other (i.e. Comair v. ASA v. Skywest), whipsawing mainline against the regionals (i.e. Delta v. ASA). Delta won a big grievance against their pilot group.
When was the last time ALPA won anything??
Management has won the RJ war. I'm old enough to remember Lorenzo and the 'B' scale battle. ALPA rallied all the pilot groups and beat airline management. In a large part this was responsible for the good career that piloting came to be. RJ's are 'C' scales. Low pay and total compensation. You can't raise a family on RJ pay.
The job pool of decent paying jobs is shrinking. Wake up Woerth!!
(BTW - I'm an Eagle furloughee and son of retired 'major' pilot.)
