ALPA: No Support for NWA Striking Mechanics!

MEC Hotline Friday, Aug. 19th.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This is Northwest Master Executive Council (MEC) Chairman Mark McClain with a Special NWA MEC Hotline recorded on Friday, August 19, 2005, at 11:03 p.m. Central Time.
AMFA STRIKES – ALPA PILOTS TO REPORT TO WORK (8/19/05)
At 11:01 p.m. CT Friday, August 19, 2005, NWA AMFA's leadership called a strike after AMFA and NWA management negotiators failed to reach agreement on a new contract before the 30-day-cooling-off period expired.

The NWA MEC, in a Special Meeting held via teleconference, elected to not engage in a sympathy strike, judging that it would not be in the best interests of NWA pilots. As a result, all NWA pilots should report to work as scheduled and fly their trips as assigned. Again, all NWA pilots should report to work as scheduled and fly their trips as assigned.

Management has advised ALPA that operations will likely be affected over the coming days as a result of a large number of aircraft currently out of service and a high volume of MELs on in-service aircraft, so please continue to exercise your patience and professionalism.

We will continue to update you with new information as it becomes available. Please check this Hotline regularly.
 
amazing. Back when the hotel workers union was striking in SFO, our union had us moved to a different hotel so we would not cross the picket line. So here we have alpa basically showing more support for min wage foreigners making beds and cleaning toilets than they do for professional mechanics working in our same industry. Pathetic.
 
I guess the lessons of 83 are lost forever

Hence the problem with ALPA. It is no longer a real union. What about the ideal or belief a sympathy strike should be in the best interests of fellow union brothers and sisters?

If NWA ALPA thinks that Steenland isn't through with them they deserve everything that management will do to them.

No wonder people scab this Woerthless union without a second thougt.
 
It reminds me of that mentality of watching someone while they are getting mugged. Sure you could go help the poor the victim, but that's not your problem. Don't worry NWA ALPA, you'll get your turn to get mugged another day.

Divide and conquer.
 
The pilots will be supporting the strike.

They all carry pens with them, right?
 
Does this really surprise you? ALPA has been a joke for a long time now. He isn't called Dwane Woerthless for nothing.
