To all the intelligent posters, I enjoy reading your opinions. To all of the Delta/Comair/ASA guys I fully support you. But those of you sniping at each other....please...STFU. Management loves this and although the temptation is always there to bash, be professional and refrain. Every airline on this board could be bashed for one reason or another but lets stand together d@mn it.
Management will impose a substandard contract on Comair in a few days. I have received all of DW's messeges via email. So what the F$#K are we going to do about it? What is DW or JD. Lawson going to do about it?
Will DW in the last few days as our union president take the same stance that Prader will????
Prader would have the Comair guys walk off the line and tell management to "just grieve it". Why? Cause we can afford it. Would we lose the lawsuit? Sure. But the point would be proven. The man has said this....and to my face. And if management thinks they can get away with this without any consequences, will be sadly mistaken.
ALPA is in a GREAT financial situation. In fact, better than it has been since the mid 80's. Our union could easily afford to support the Comair pilots if they choose to walk off the line in a few days. I just hope our ALPA leadership supports this action.
Management also knows this is the best time to pull off underhanded stunts. During the holiday season most people don't have the tendency to get "fired up".
I will gladly pay into a fund to support the Comair Pilots.
