...why belong to a union if the union leadership is blatently willing to disregard the wishes of the majority of it's membership.
I'm not too impressed with this Prater guy.... he sure didn't seem to be towing the line that the ALPA pilots voted on. I guess that if I still plan to retire at 60, one wat to save more money would to not pay union dues...why belong to a union if the union leadership is blatently willing to disregard the wishes of the majority of it's membership.
Captain Prater is continuing to support Age-60, and has said that he will do so until the BOD changes the official policy of the Association. I don't expect that to happen until a majority of the membership votes in favor of a change. Captain Prater is a good guy, and he'll support the membership even though he personally disagrees with the policy. Don't crucify him just yet.
This rule change sucks for the large majority of ALPA pilots.
His statements didn't give me a warm and fuzzy that he really supported the current rule, rather that he was trying to best figure out how to implement the expected change.
