ASA Sessions Brief 06/29/07

[crjskipper]

tomct - can you try to take less pleasure in the potential for us to be out of a job. attempt to a) not call someone a name for having a less than hatred for asa b) leave burn it down out of every reply c) keep it above the waist and informed

im very disapointed also - but dont understand why the nmb would ask for no details to be leaked when the sessions are over?

Is anyone TRULY suprised we didn't get a T/A out of this? We all knew it wouldn't happen because we havn't gotten the release to do it. If the NMB was really serious about this mess, they would have chained JA to the walls of the negotiating session.

Now the NMB mediator will pack his stuff and proceed to go on vacation for another month, allowing this to drag out just a while longer, enough to get through a busy travel season that no strike will be allowed to mess up. Depending on the loads and when they start to drop off, might indicate when we are allowed to strike- but only when there will be little impact on the transportation system- or when we are under a different political regime. Any guesses when this will be????

What a joke.

Good.....break all the phones, laptops and furniture....the lights....chairs....PUT DEFERRED stickers on everything including the bathrooms. No cell phones and Turn the AC off and make them switch rooms every 2 hours.....write em up when they even mention getting something to EAT. Call em every 3 hours and ask em "where are you?" Have some fool run into the room every 5 minutes to ask em.."Are you ready to board?" At the end of a 16 hour day......give em 9 hours reduced domicile rest after a 45 minute wait for tha van and then lock them back in another room for another 14 hours....stretchable to 16. Oh...one more thing....Lose their overnight bag. That'd get it DONE!

That is a great solution, might actually work. Now theyjust have to do it for four days.

Oh well, back to the drawing board. It's up to you line pilots now. Do your job, and no more!

Yeah, because that's worked out so well thus far...!

 

[frapper]

What do you mean "so far?" We haven't done anything as a group yet! There are just the few of us that have been doing it all along!

frapper, asarjman and all,

I think I've covered in very great depth why "line actions" won't work in a previous thread. Even www. himself acknowledge that the pilots can't cause a meltdown. He never answered back in regards to picking up open time at premium pay though.

Go back and read it. Logic is very definitive on why it either won't work or it's illegal. (court action against ALPA and the pilot group...not to mention firings where ALPA CAN'T get your job back).
