How exactly is pncl going to go about stapling Colgan pilots?just keep telling yourself that.
Thanks for that. A staple is extremely unlikely whether we are represented by either union
Then ask Business Express pilots at Eagle
pretty sure the Business Express pilots were given date of hire with a few fences
Ask all the TWA pilots on the street about that. Ask all the Reno CA's that ended up in the right seat about that. Then ask Business Express pilots at Eagle and the Allegheny pilots now at Piedmont how it worked for them.
Keep in mind the only reason management will merge Colgan with someone else is to avoid a Bankruptcy filing for Colgan. What are your career expectations if your employer is facing liquidation? What is 'fair and equitable' in that situation? History is full of examples. When both pilot groups are represented by the same union fair and equitable gets defined completely differently than it does when they are not the same union.
Lawyers can drive trucks through all the applicable legal language. In the end it is the organization you belong to and its culture that will decide how it is done. Keep in mind all of Colgans potential merger partners are larger than Colgan and represented by ALPA. After the merger your property will be represented by ALPA. Unless you are looking for a fight to lose the Teamsters won't do you much good. If it is an internal ALPA 'family' matter it has a much better chance of being worked out amiably.
