Astar/ABX -- Teamster or ALPA?

Ok, I'll start.

1. Our union hall has a coke machine that works for free!

Penguin,

Does that machine have Mountain Dew? If it does, count me in! We'll bring our flatscreen TV's though, ok?

I can understand the concept of "power in numbers". But if it's such a great thing why are the UPS (IPA) pilots not aligned with the IBT.

Fair question. The UPS Teamster pilot union was actually installed by UPS management. The relationship between the two was a bit too cozy. That's not the case here, believe me.

When UPS pilots voted to go independent, I think ALPA got like two votes.

How big of a flat screen we talkin' bout'. I mean if it is a 32 incher you can keep it. Now if its a 60" this could be the start of a beautiful relationship...........

BH,

I'd have to get out the tape to be sure, but I think they're around 42". Could be a bit bigger than that, though. LCD is really nice.

But are they ISF calibrated?

What I'm looking forward to is the free coffee at all stations!

I don't think they have ISF ABX. They do however, have the flux capacitor option.

I had my set at home calibrated, though the guy wasn't ISF--he was better! The improvement was amazing!

What makes you think they'll merge you. Why not consolidate some ops then the crews against each other. Its the holding company thats doing the buying, true....false?
