ALPA: Time to learn from this vote.

[BrickTop]

This recent vote should reiterate that if you want a Regional Airline to adopt your representation you will begin treating the Regional Airline pilots the way you treat the 10% of the pyramid in the Majors. If you want our annual dues prove to our pilot group, who is smart enough to learn from others misfortune of your under-delivery in services, we are far better off keeping our money.

Brick Top - the majors are still more than 60% of ALPA's membership, a majority the SkyWest vote helped ensure.

Apparently you missed the thread on ALPA's resolution of the RJDC issue.

Majority, or not, SkyWest's vote was a disappointing loss for SkyWest pilots and the profession. Pilots probably thought they were voting for what was best for them individually, but the educated decision for representation really was a win / win.

A question to chew over:

How can ALPA support both major and regional pilot groups who frequently have opposing agendas?

 

[Lazy8]

Another question:

How can we support ALPA with such misinformed views of how the system works?

 

[urflyingme?!]

Pilots dont understand what a Union will do PERIOID much less ALPA. Good luck with that deviation!

SkyWest pilots, don't be asking for our UNION PILOT jumpseats, and good luck moving on to a UNION mainline carrier.

Yes, I am. Not bad for your third post. Especially since your first was 5 minutes ago.

Remember John 35% of those guys don't have their heads up their asses and actually voted yes. You'll just have to screen them before you decide to let them ride with ya.

 

[scarlet]

[duck_killer]

Thanks for the display of intelligence in your eloquent post. With people like you on the OC, no wonder it failed... oh wait, I was on the OC. Damn!

Are you the newbie that was in my jumpseat the other day, who said you were on the fence and asked a lot of questions regarding the union? Then after I answered them to the best of my ability you said you were going to vote yes?

Thanks for the display of intelligence in your eloquent post.

You are right. He should stick with professional tactics such as denying a jumpseat. THAT WILL TEACH YOU!!!! YOU CAN TURN AROUND THE ENTIRE INDUSTRY WITH ONLY ONE JUMPSEAT DENIAL!!!! DO IT!!!!

 

[Exskydiverdrivr]

Hey harlot and penis pump! Please carry a phone list of all the guys on the SKW OC so they CAN vouch for me on your jumpseat. Especially since I'm the type of guy who retaliates by denying the next "3" of your company's jumpseat requests, while reminding them to thank (your name here) for their inconvenience.
