Colgan votes in ALPA!

[DoinTime]

One guy doesn't cut it.
The President should be a regional pilot to represent the majority.
Prater, Worthless ....none of those guys in the Mustache Mafia have a friggin clue as to what living the regional life is like. They dont even remember what it's like flying the line from thier own carriers.

Where do you get that contract pilots are the majority? Fee for departure carrier pilots are about 20% of ALPA's pilots. Likewise, the new Delta is also about 20% of ALPA' pilots.

IMO, the President of ALPA should be the one who is the most qualified regardless of where they work.

Simply, not true.

Excellent opportunity for Colgan pilots to build career skills that major airline recruiters look for...

Many of the pilots that left my regional were ALPA volunteers. No they didn't wave the ALPA flag at the interview or put union on their resume/application.

However, when you do professional volunteer work it teaches you how to work with others and matures your skillset... Simply put, it is noticeable when you present yourself.

Sure some guys just have the knack, and can turn on the charm in the interview, but why not get in on the new committee structure from the ground up, help your fellow pilots and the ones that will be Colgan pilots, while you help yourself become more marketable to a major... if that is what you desire....

Good luck guys... the support and resources are there, you just need to take the lead....

Yes, they did. That is simply not true. I could go on and on with examples. Yes, they did. You would have not said it, if they had not done it. I am starting to see a pattern. Not all....but it is ugly. Self-serving is an understatement. I am very disappointed with what I have uncovered. Yes...they did. Yes...they are. Yes...they will. So disappointed in this organization. Almost corrupt, if I did not know better. Please, help me to believe in a better world.

Personally, since ALPAs majority is regional pilots, I'd like a regional pilot to be the national president. Not some guy who has never flown for a regional, and does not have my best interest in mind.

Regionals do the majority of flying for the majors, it's about time we start calling the shots.

Then don't you think regional pilots should start voting and attending LEC meetings. If they continue to not do so, are they closer or further away from calling the shots..


If a regional pilot becomes ALPA president should he get the blend of top major airline pilot pay or a blind of top regional pilot pay?

Because if a regional pilot becomes ALPA president and get top blend major pilot pay then, he will instantly be able to be characterized as "out of touch" and now he only cares about keeping his "pay compensation" and not caring about regional pilots..

Interested in your reply....

What exactly do you think you've "uncovered?"

What exactly do you think you've "uncovered?"

Shut your mouth.

I saw you in your oversized uniform, looking like a little kid from Fisher Price Products the other day.

You know exactly what I'm talking about. How else would you have.....

Keep it up. Cue: scary music...........

Happy Holidays

Left? Hardly. I'm one of the many AirTran pilots that are currently working to bring ALPA to AirTran. That tells you how much I believe in ALPA.

Don't worry about longwayback, he just has a bit of sand in his mangina, he is chafing a little.
