ALPA is better for Colgan pilots interests than Teamsters

[DoinTime]

On behalf of all Pinnacle pilots I apologize for Flyer1015's irrational, insensitive, and uneducated remarks towards the Colgan pilot group.

That red stapler from Office Space is starting to look more and more attractive.

This is the kind of stupid comment that makes it harder to get a union at colgan. If it was meant to be funny, it wasn't.

Stand-alone unions don't work with employee groups with such low average income levels and such low numbers of employees. They simply don't have the money to fund their union activities. Only huge carriers with high average incomes, like UPS and AMR, can make independent unions functional.

Trust me, I'm suffering through an independent union right now at my carrier. I wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy. We've been in contract negotiations for 3.5 years, and I don't expect another contract for many years to come.
