Just who do you think a union is going to favor? The senior guys or the junior ones? So, in fact, if I were looking after my own bum, maybe I would be pushing for that ever so coveted union pin... BTW, we have industry-leading 190 pay now...Isn't Airtran still looking for a contract after 5 years? Ask a CAL pilot how satisfied they are with their contracts. Do they get pay-protected for precancelled flights? How good are the paychecks and benefits at Spirit and Allegiant? How many are being furloughed at UPS? I could go on...

We've gotta get some of your facts straight. First, Airtran was unsuccessful with their in-house union and voted in ALPA to help with their 5 year stalemate with managment. That's pretty telling when a pilot group is willing to reject their own union for an international union with more power, money and experience.

Second, regarding your other post about the $44 million dollar UA pilot settlement. It was NOT a judgement against ALPA, it was a settlement. Most of it (80%) is covered by insurance and the remainder will be levied against United Airlines after their court case is completed. ALPA will not be paying the bulk of the settlement.

You've gotta get your facts straight, don't just bash ALPA out of pure ignorance.
