How to help Comair?

[ex j-41]

System wide sick day would draw attention. Imagine zero flights on Jan 15th. Not like the goverment can throw 50,000 pilots in the slammer.

Good one!

ALPA is far from perfect, but if you ever got off your A@@ to volunteer you might know enough to give a rational opinion.

But given your response, I'm guessing you know very little of the organization you bash on.

I will continue to have money from each of my paychecks taken out for ALPA-PAC.

They were for the Delta Pilot Emergency Relief Fund established by the Delta MEC.

That's wonderful. Thank you. I also wrote a couple of personal checks, above and beyond my assessments, to support your pilot relief effort during your strike. I thought it was the right thing to do.

Interesting that you bring up the 70 seat issue. You hammer the economics of the 50 and then try and sieze the 70 which were on order well before the sellout, er, buyout. Your own statements link seniority and the 70 seater, just who do you think the Delta MEC had in mind to fly them?

You'll have to elaborate on that one. The furloughed pilots would have gone, and apparently did, go to the bottom of the CMR seniority list when they were finally able to get a job at CMR without being forced to surrender their recall rights.

Regardless, in the interest of avoiding further thread creep I'll give you the last word on the matter.

Back on point, the best thing we can do to support the CMR pilots, as well as the profession, is to realize that the bankruptcy code and the RLA, as written, are a noose around the neck of organized labor. These are legislative and political issues that need to be addressed and the best way to address it is to vote for candidates that are pro labor and to financially support other candidates who are pro labor through ALPA-PAC contributions each pay day.

Paying dues "for years" teaches you NOTHING about ALPA at all. I didn't drink koolaid to learn that.

Well....FDJ2 gets it!!!!!!

Speaking of which....did anyone see John Edwards on "Hardball with Chris Matthews" this weekend? The one where he was at UNC?

I guess you gotta watch ALPA roll over in front of management and then lose your job before you learn a thing or two about ALPA. Until then, ignorance is bliss...

Thank you copilot.

Thank you copilot, maybe this idiot will wake up. He cannot even say 1 positive thing ALPO has done for him..

Alpa is far!!!

Maybe, you have sniffed too much glue today while building that Merlin model that the angry ELF left you! :nuts:

Take a deep breath, a long timeout in the corner, and stop calling everybody your family names! :angryfire
