Alpa at Flex?

[GlorifiedCabbie]

You'll never accept me into your circle no matter what I say from here out because I chose to question your wisdom, and that's fine. I realized many years ago that folks like you don't welcome outside thinking.

Welcome V1. Don't let yourself become another victim. And I don't welcome outside thinking? I actually took a college course on existential psychology. I'm glad you are thinking about you decision instead of just guessing . Welcome.

Welcome to all our new fellow brothers

 

[V1 Rotate]

While I appreciate the warm welcomes and still accept that someone other that Teamsters is a long shot, assuming the card drive passes, I still will continue to question decisions or comments going forward. It's just not in my nature to sit idly by. I also still have my concerns about a single union representing two competing interests. No need to relive that argument. Hopefully others reading this conversation have learned something.

V1 you should always question anything that pertains to you're career I don't think any of our fellow pilots representing us would ever have a problem with that. Our union is not the answer to all the problems we face with KR he hates the union and his management fights us tooth and nail on the most simple matters just to try and flex their muscle but they don't have the power they want and it's a hell of a lot better then the alternative Glad to have you on board

If you want true dialogue why don't you contribute something worthwhile to the conversation.

OK. Here it is. This ALPA drive is nothing more than a diversionary tactic laid down by management, just as everyone on here has said. I will say it one more time, though.

I'm glad you sent your card in. Welcome aboard! Now help your compadres out. Join the P2P Committee or something to help get the truth out. The truth always wins.

. I also still have my concerns about a single union representing two competing interests.

And this is where your belief system needs to evolve. Your two pilot groups -divided now by management - have the same interest: A good life! You are all the same. There is no competing interest.

The interest is mutual: a fight against a tyrant to achieve a better life for yourself and each other.

V1, lot's of all your "brothers and sisters" are pretty vocal about coming over and flying your large aircraft, etc. after the vote. The election, contrary to the genius's on this board, has not happened. If Mr. R, or "uncle" as he is so fondly referred to here, were half as bad as our beloved IBT proclaims(and who wrote a 500 word explanation of why thy are no longer a corrupt union recently) I wouldn't continue to work here, union or no union.

The pilots that went to Flex to try and fly the big equipment are all hand picked. These pilots are given opportunities not available to the average FO line pilot. These are Uncle's inner circle of pilots and he has to lead you to believe that someday you can join his club. Only problem is, These pilots weren't selected because of their flying skills.

I was a fence sitter, but after reading comments from some of the ITB guys here, I am happy to say that my card is not in the mail but burned!!

You guys don't want to listen to a lot of our issues period, there are so many jabs at guys sitting on the fence, example "cut him a brake he is on board " really??

I worked under a ALPA contract for years paid my dues and life was just fine, the IBT position is KR- Bad, ALPA- Bad, IBT - Good. We'll last I checked all of ALPA's leaders are accounted for, but old Jimmy is still missing?

My mom once told me that a tiger never changes his stripes only his tactics, we'll there it is my 2 cents.

 

[doh]

Ricci is the tiger. And no, he won't change his stripes. Are you his latest tactic?
