JetBlue & American

[Rez O. Lewshun]

I would rather have representation,also. If,that actually existed. We have OUTSOURCE ME ALPA in this corner wearing the red trunks at 55 lbs and we have Airline Management in this corner wearing the blue trunks weighing in at
275 lbs.

Consider going into any legal proceeding and having your representative sell you down the river. All while the "other" side smiles.

Welcome to America. Capitalism (aka De-regulation) to airline pilots; how do you like me now?

What does this mean? That JB won't be bought out, or scoped out?

Just because you are doing good doesn't mean the sharks aren't interested.....

JB pilots... when is the representation light going to come on?

Probably never. After they saw the prideful editorial piece done on the latest F-16 pilot, by one (of many) 130K a year ALPA journalist, they have lost any remaining faith. They would be smarter to go with APA branch representation.

Besides, it's not like every other ALPO repped pilot group isn't in some code share junket as well, and most are with overseas airlines.

Even if American and JB were under ALPO's dismal disorganization this would have still happened, nothing would be different.

We're doing well actually.

Couldn't help it.

When has the APA offered "branch" representation? Has the APA offered the OO Student Council "branch" representation? If so, were you interested in being a "branch" manager?

Very true... you make an obvious observation. One that you could have gleaned by simply reading this thread. And those pilots are represented not only by their own MEC, but also as an alliance group and IFALPA, sans the APA. In addition this is real representation codified by law, not a student council that gets over ruled by the principal if it is deemed foul.

Even if American and JB were under ALPO's dismal disorganization this would have still happened, nothing would be different.

You've missed the point. No one ever claimed that ALPA controls or operates airlines. Of course this still would have happened. The point being that you'd have legal standing and ownership of the work.... its called scope. Is that defined in the student council handbook?
