IBT Tells USAPA "Uh....No Thanks"

[727gm]

USAPA: yes, I'll you have to do is get us DOH and all will be well

USAPA: yes, ALL you have to do is get us DOH and all will be well

What ever happened to the workers paradise that was promised by Seham and the USAPIANs that being independent would bring. All that talk about how inexpensive it would be to be an indpendent union, not having to send dues money to "national", all the money that could be saved, not having to deal with a national beuracracy, etc.

Why would USAPA want to join a national union now, didn't it work out as planned?

I can imagine Cleary's next press release: "While I'll be the first to admit that being represented by the International Ladies Garment Worker's Union is a bit unorthodox, ..."

Why try a drive now? Just wait until next year and APA will represent you.

Why try a drive now? Just wait until next year and APA will represent you.

Finally a nugget of truth in the Pickleball universe.

Why try a drive now? Just wait until next year and APA will represent you.

Which may be exactly why the IBT wants to wait until "later in 2012"...

Means nothing- you westies are grasping again. Besides, the IBT is busy getting new companies signed up and they need to put things off for a while until the crazy westicles settle down more. You guys are nuts

Hey Nicky;
One of my westie pals wanted to ask you the following:

".. do me a favor and just post/ask this guy (you, Nicky), if DOH is the gold standard, How come the largest merger in our history did not go DOH, aka Delta/NWA? Just curious. Of course SWA/Airtran, and while your at it ask him if ALPA is negotiating DOH at UAL/CAL? Unbelievable. USLURPA wants us to have our career expectations? Great...negotiate a list that gets me a 7 year upgrade which is not what we were promised but IN THE MIDST OF when we merged with these delusional incompetents. NIC took this ALL into account."

What say you, Nicky? Any logical, well thought out response to these questions? My guess is that you were most assuredly furloughed at the time of the acquisition. That gives the most reasonable explanation regarding your classic USAPA ALL IN defense.

 

[Fubijaakr]

I'd agree with that assessment. Only a furloughed/bottom US F/O would cling to that so tenaciously.

I guess he "forgot" that furloughees don't bring a job to the SLI negotiations, so they go on the list AFTER ALL employed pilots.

Yep, to think they have the gall to say we're trying to steal seniority. Frigging scumbags.
