SuperKooter said:So now what do you ALPAites have to say for yourselves. You are going make ASA shrink. 120-140 people will be out of work because you can't take the ALPA blinders off your overinflated heads.
There WILL be a paycut on the 70 or ASA WILL lose all of them and even more jobs.
Think about your actions and how it will affect people. A large amount of people may find themselves on the street because of your Lack of Common Sense.
I just hope that strike vote will be a weak showing. I will vote NO and I know many other people will also vote NO. If you lemmings do decide to "Burn The MUTHA DOWN" then JA will shrink ASA into nothingness as it probably should at least ALPA will be gone. ASA days are numbered and its because of the selfish MEC.
Hey i've got an Idea maybe you clowns can walk around like fool in your uniforms (with hat on of course) infront of the ASA building. Thats worked so will in the past.
Superkooter, or should I call you Slaphappy?, you tried this same BS on airline pilot central the other day and got slapped down there.
You are obviously a member of management trying to scare junior FOs into voting no. You are a despicable loser for your tactics.
To be "official" the company has to make an announcement. Unless it is sitting on your desk in the CPO, they havn't done so.
First off, nothing has changed in three weeks since they announced the 900 deliveries. It is clearly an attempt to influence the negotiations and nothing more. We may get 900s and we may not, but that decision was made long before this week.
Second, look outside your office at all the Aviation Daily copies posted around the crew room. ASA is not the most expensive by a long shot. We are cheaper than Skywest.
Third, the only other alternative I can see that makes sense is that they plan to strip ASA for its assets and close the company a la Lorenzo. If that is true, concessions won't help and its better to go down fighting without taking a pay cut.
If you tell the DOT one thing and the pilots another, you are lying to somebody. Are you lying to the pilot group or the government? I'd put money on those DOT figures being accurate.
And I'm no unionist, but BL's tactics as clear as they are underhanded. I'm now a vote to strike.
And according to the MEC blastmail, new hires and apprentice members will be upgraded to full membership for the vote, so everyone gets a voice.
