Artran's MEMRAT reality

[71driver]

For god sakes... do you guys ever get tired of B#tching?...... I had a great friend who used to by an airline pilot... One day we watched a UAL 747 taxi into the gate just after the great contract they recieved. He looked at me and said.... "you know what, even if I was flying that thing Id still be pissed off at the world". And then he quit.. Left the industry for greener pastures..... For god sakes. Who would ever want to be a union rep with all teh flack you guys give them... Guess what, they aren't great, but they aren't horrible either. MB is the best shot we have at a great union President. How many people does ALPA have to screw over before you guys open your eyes. Just look back 4 years after 9/11.. Look at all the bashing on FI about ALPA.. Now you guys wanna vote them in????? Pilots never learn, thats why MGT will always have the upper hand...

MB is was also well aware of the potential language problem concerning the grievence language in the petition, when the sponsor said he would be happy to fix it MB said no thanks I am just going to send out mass e-mails to point out the flaws in the petition and send it out as is......kind of makes you wonder. Again MEMRAT just makes sense period

I just don't understand why he does not want to fix this language. He should recognize that memrat is coming and make sure the language is right in order to protect all of us.

Why not just call or email him and ask???

Better yet first read in the Updates why they decided not to go forward with it.

I heard Georgia is nice this time of year. You could get in line to become part of the Soviet Republic 2.0

They decided not to "go forward with it", meaning cleaning the MINOR wording issues up, because they hope that will make it fail.

The BoD doesn't want MemRat.

Management doesn't want MemRat.

MemRat is coming. The language that is "flawed" is protected by the RLA so will not be a consequence either way, and is cleanable with another minor change which can be issued by the BoD the day after it's ratified.

MemRat's time has come. It's my sincere hope that every pilot takes control of their own destiny with this airline, that it fosters greater involvement, and thereby motivates the pilots to increase solidarity in a way yet unseen here.

YMMV. You know I love ya', buddy, but I think this one is happening. Warts and all. We'll clean it up and make it shiny by Halloween. And I do NOT mean like PCL's avatar...

If ALPA was voted in, what would happen to the scabs?

 

[eatme]

I hear USAPA is looking for a few good men.

What happened at CAL?

 

[400ADude]

What happened at CAL?

I know. Too bad ALPA couldn't send them to the street.

you are correct, for those of you still on the fence about memrat WE the pilots that support memrat will be happy to tweak it after it passes, MB had a chance to do it before it went out to vote but he chose not to, now he will HAVE to deal with it.

Remember MEMRAT pisses the company off that should mean something to you

 

[njcapt]

Remember MEMRAT makes management anxious, that should mean everything to you.

Fixed.





Sorry for the punctuation edit.

bump......

 

[Whine Lover]

This MEMRAT...Is there a PHLRAT, or a STLRAT, or a ATLRAT?

Who are these people? Is there one in every city you fly to? Are they all like line crossing hairy Rodentia or what?

When Midwest voted in ALPA it was up to the membership at one meeting to vote the SCABS in or out. It was decided to let the pilots who worked at Eastern honorably(NON-SCABS) have the final say. All of the SCABS were voted in and are now card carry members of ALPA.
