1st. thats one of the biggest problems with alpa, in my opinion. Hopefully the new alpa pres. will be able to steer this ship in the right direction and each alpa group can pull in the same direction for once in a couple generations.Explain to me how one alpa carrier can underbid and fly another alpa carrier's planes, isn't this one of the things a union is supposed to stop. All you heard asa pilots saying is how comair guys screwed you on their pay freeze, news to asa: comair payrates are still higher than yours and now you are putting it to comair. How can any union justify this? Please tell me.
2nd. you're talking about completely different points in time and very different circumstances. comiar's initial pay freeze for A/c brought our earlier negotiations to a stall on payrates (not that our cnc/mec was in ANY hurry to get anything done, they weren't). Now its coming back to bite them in the butt. Depends on who you ask/believe but, alledgedly ASA offered (maybe off the record) alpa comair +1% or so and the mec/cnc turned thier nose up looking for that "rainmaker" contract. Now thats bitting alpa in the butt.
just my obvservation.
