JP Fired from ASA?

[NotTooBad]

Had a friend just call and tell me this. Anyone heard from a credible source?

 

[Sherpa]

JP who? What is/was his or her position?

 

[Max Q]

This guy...

 

[Sherpa]

Is this guy from crew "support" or did we potentially fire Judas Priest (JP)?

 

[LazyLightnin']

This guy...

No corrective lenses tonight, Mr. Papageorgio?

 

[Data]

If ever there was a subject that warranted its own 'Brad's Update', this would be the time! If the rumor is true, moral just experienced a slight uptick.

 

[fo.mafia.4 life]

If this is true, praise be to Allah, Jesus, Budda, Joseph Smith or the deity of your choosing.

 

[777forever]

Well looking out the reserve FO list they were out of pilots today, have 2 pilots available tomorrrow, one at 6am and one at 6pm, and almost all the rest of the open time has been put up for 150%. It needs to be 200%. Yup, wouldn't be suprised if Papa whatever got fired

 

[Medeco]

VERY slight...

Update wont happen, last thing management will do is admit that pilots were correct

 

[Abernathy]

Sounds like bull. If anything he will get promoted. What.....you think they're going to fire him bc he pulled a fast one on our MEC and thinned staffing? BH is reponsible for the staffing here. JP just shoved the PBS LOA up the MEC's sphincter. Only people to fire are the reps.

 

[LazyLightnin']

When I look that chode muncher up in the ASA directory and he's nowhere to be found, then I'll believe it. For now, I'll just keep praying.

 

[49W]

He was just following the orders from Mr. Holt. He was an ass, but the real blame should start at the top.

 

[LazyLightnin']

His orders are to poorly staff the airline?

 

[mxaviator]

He was just following the orders from Mr. Holt. He was an ass, but the real blame should start at the top.

Yup. I doubt this guy is really gone.

 

[shamrock]

So who will be the next person to play the role of "bad cop" to Brad's "good cop" if Papasmurfio has been canned?

 

[JoeMerchant]

So who will be the next person to play the role of "bad cop" to Brad's "good cop" if Papasmurfio has been canned?

Who is "good cop" and "bad cop" here....

UALPAPAE: World’s Largest Pilots’ Union Violated Its Own Employees’ Labor Rights, Says National Labor Relations Board Judge


(!-- start story body -->
HERNDON, Va.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) Administrative Law Judge Bruce Rosenstein issued his decision February 15 in the unfair labor practice case filed by Unit 1 of the Union of Air Line Pilots Association Professional and Administrative Employees (Unit 1) against the Air Line Pilots Association, International (ALPA). Unit 1 is the labor union that has represented ALPA’s professional employees since the early 1950s.

“that ALPA acted unlawfully and has repeatedly ignored the law and the rights of its own employees.”
​

Judge Rosenstein found that ALPA had committed all of the unfair labor practices alleged in a complaint filed in 2009 by the NLRB based on charges submitted by Unit 1. In his ruling, the administrative law judge found that ALPA had violated the National Labor Relations Act (NLRA) when it illegally laid off 12 employees and imposed changes to pay, fringe benefits and work rules before the two sides reached a lawful impasse in bargaining.
“This ruling confirms what Unit 1 has been saying for the last two years,” said Don McClure, Unit 1 president, “that ALPA acted unlawfully and has repeatedly ignored the law and the rights of its own employees.”
In March 2009, Unit 1 filed a charge of unfair labor practices against ALPA management with the NLRB. The in-house union contended ALPA management failed to meet its obligation to disclose information requested by Unit 1 about ALPA’s plan to conduct employee layoffs in early 2009. Unit 1 also claims ALPA management failed to meet its obligation to bargain over the planned layoffs in violation of the NLRA.
In a May 2009 move unprecedented in the half-century of the relationship between ALPA and Unit 1, management at ALPA unilaterally imposed changed pay, fringe benefits and work rules on their unionized Unit 1 professional staff after contract negotiations between the two failed to produce an agreement. Unit 1 filed a charge over this imposition of the changes without bargaining to impasse, which was then added to the complaint.
The ruling, which can be viewed on the NLRB website, outlines several remedies including rescinding the imposed terms and reinstatement and make whole of the employees who were laid off.
The Board estimates that the backpay ALPA owes the 12 Unit 1 employees who were illegally laid off currently exceeds $700,000, and Unit 1 estimates that it will cost ALPA well in excess of $2 million to rescind the unilaterally imposed terms.
“This type of intransigent behavior is what ALPA fights against on behalf of its members every single day,” said McClure. “For the world’s largest pilots’ union to flaunt the law in such an egregious manner is reprehensible. The law judge agreed with us.”
The nearly 60 year old Unit 1 of UALPAPAE represents 168 professional staffers, including labor lawyers, economic analysts, retirement specialists, air safety engineers and communications practitioners at ALPA. ALPA represents 54,000 pilots at 36 airlines in North America.

 

[Gulf-front]

[damnflyboy]

Who is "good cop" and "bad cop" here....

Joe in stead of bashing ASA's union you could really improve our local union if you would contribute to it. You spend too much negative energy bashing ALPA and your FOs…
