Fellow pilot,
We would prefer to adopt a softer tone with regard to the following item, however the facts are the facts. In perhaps what may be the very best example to date that ALPA will go to any lengths to deny the pilots a say in their own future, with just 6 days remaining until the voting closes, ALPA has petitioned the NMB to exclude a large number of pilots from the upcoming vote. The pilots affected included J4J pilots who have already been recalled some time ago and will be on the property before the end of voting.
ALPA's submission is in stark contrast to USAPA's filing today. ALPA is arguing that everybody who was working for another Carrier as of the November 13, 2007 cutoff date should be deemed ineligible to vote. This includes Pilots on leave and J4J pilots. ALPA makes this argument despite the fact that some J4J pilots have already been recalled and 44 more are coming back on Monday. This is a blatant attempt to disenfranchise East Pilots.
Please contrast this with USAPA's submission in which we vigorously defend these Pilots’ right to vote.
The obvious conclusion - if ALPA can't convince you, through fear, innuendo and misrepresentation to vote for them, they will simply try to keep you from voting at all.
Please carefully read the attached documents, or click here and read the first three NMB documents. We will let you draw your own conclusions as to which union fights for the rights of the pilots.
