Alpa

[BILL LUMBERG]

Um, excuse me, but there is that pesky lawsuit that alpo lost...all because national misled the TWA pilots. National marches to the beat of a different drummer as compared to the locals they supposedly represent.

Oh I got it.....

So grab the populist view and blame NATIONAL for what the AT MEC voted down.... Gotcha! You're Right....

When Marko Ramius posts, it's best to read his opinion. It's always well thought out.

Between Kalifornia's and Marko's posts on this thread, I have reevaluated my deeply embedded anger toward ALPA. It's not healthy and it doesn't resolve any of my complaints against the organization. I am now formulating a method to turn my frustration into a positive force for change once I'm back on the line. That, and I'm digging through legal rulings on their failure to comply with Duty of Fair Representation.
At United, there were 2172 of us furloughed on the first go and 1437 currently on furlough. Not all of us will return but almost all of us have quite a bit of anger over the way multiple issues were handled by our union. If we're able to stay on property long enough, we have the potential to become a very potent force within the framework of the union.

Good Post Andy....

Best of luck on a return soon..... I know I do my part by trying to push senior guys down the lounge stairs......
