Why? Because while Teamsters has been fighting to get all the pilots in the service of different alter ego airlines on to one list (with the important exception og 6oJets) ALPA has been busy undermining their members at small jet carriers.Pogue Mahone said:Even if it was financially feasible, why spend the time, money, and effort to reinvent the wheel.
I guess we'll see how it all pans out, huh?
The Delta MEC had as an agenda item an evaluation of the benefits of cost cuts at DCI. The view at the major level and at national is that feel falling rates at regionals are a benefit to mainline pilots who can use the profits generated to help restore their profession.
While ALPA claims to be supporting the ASA pilots, we know ALPA locked our MEC out of scope negotiations with Delta and today ALPA is negotiating against ASA pilots to the point of figuring out how much money is to be had on the backs of small jet pilots. Also note that ALPA never bothered to calculate the harmful effects of Contract 2000 scope, but they were quick to calculate how much the company could earn by cutting DCI rates. Who's zoomin who? ALPA and management are in a flippin conspiracy to screw us - does no one else see this?
ALPA has done nothing to address the conflict of interest and the conflicts within the union's own negotiating position. Unfortunately the only politically accepted position now is "full pay to the last day" while ALPA washes it hands of small jet pilots, blaming the industry, management and September 11th. For me "full pay to the last day" is only saying you were in control of the airplane until the point of impact.
I don't think "riding it in" is effective union representation.
