For me ALPA's actions have always spoken louder then their name calling and intimidation tactics.
Let me guess, you are part of the RJDC...right?

But normally it is the senior people that support ALPA because they control the union and think that they benefit at the junior members expense, even thou it usually is just shooting themselves in the foot.
Let me guess. You had a job at a regional carrier and your contract did not provide you with mainline pay and benefits therefore ALPA failed you. You expected your regional carrier to be a carrier job, right? Meanwhile you were provided with benefits, retirement, safety, legal, and a job working for a small lift provider that was designed to be a stepping stone to a major carrier.
If you could be specific what did ALPA do to you?
And yet... the DR has even less to offer.
maybe, but are you certain that you will get more than 2% because you will need that just to break even. I'm by no means an expert on the JB agreement however if you are getting the industry standard that's all that ALPA will ever strive for.

Again what did ALPA do to you?
It’s more of what they don’t do then what they do. There are very few people that think this profession is heading in the right direction. The proof is in the lack of faith shown by how few people are getting trained to become pilots. ALPA is in a position to turn things around however they are too political to care about the future. It’s easier for them to keep the status quo, keeping their union pay then to rock the boat and possibly lose everything. If you ask them why they can’t get anything done they will always cite the RLA or say it’s not a mandatory negotiating item. I just want to be like the club owner in kill bill when Budd tells him why he isn’t doing his job http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oaf11UNSvcQ&feature=related .
ALPA has done almost nothing to prevent scope relaxation, supported increasing the retirement age at worst possible time (while thousands were on furlough), and supports pitting pilots against each other. For me personally, they don’t answer the phone, don’t return phone calls, don’t show their presence in the crew lounge, and don’t educate the pilot group in any way. Instead they, push their views with no supporting data, too often sound like an echo from management, allow clear violations of the CBA to occur with days of advanced notice, and overall provide a false sense of security.
Why do bluebells feel the need to advertise to real airline pilots that they managed to get a few crumbs for their industry leading productivity?
2% is what you get for voting two unions down?
That doesn't even cover COLA.
It's better than the union alternative. That would look like this
2.2
-3.5
-2.0 (union dues)
-------
-3.3%
Like previously pointed out you are making the average that your union brethren are without paying the 2% to the MECs waistline.
Our pay rates ride the coat tails of union pilot groups who fought for those rates. Our other benefits don't even do that.
There are 1000 pilots at jetblew who are MORE than happy to ride coat-tails and even take the coat off someone's back if need be.

correct, unemployment is indexed for COLAyou're right. Chap 11 covers COLA much better.
