Look like an uprising at ALPA is on the horizon

[Rez O. Lewshun]

Yeah sure, whatever, ALPA is still so much d@mn smarter than we pilots that don't even know (of course that's the way ALPA always is, smarter than us and making decisions that protect us from ourselves, but when we complain ALPA points the finger at us, who were denied the vote, screaming YOU ARE ALPA. ) .

If ALPA hadn't ignored their dues paying pilots and denied them a vote so many times, telling them they weren't smart enough (thanks again, for the repeat) then maybe the turd wouldn't stink.

Back to you sunshine.

P.S. Don't feel bad because it probably isn't your fault. There are some essential minimum things that the dues paying pilot expects that you probably don't even know!

Looks like you got your feelings hurt.... are you ok?

Self righteous condescension is another standard ALPA approach. You're on a roll!!

 

[bluesideup340]

Any Airline Pilot who wants to be be flying US registered jets for US airlines has to follow this priority... even though they probably don't even know it...

International issues
National issues
Local issues

....

In order to prevent widebody outsourcing, cabatoge, etc.. pilot groups are going to have to function on an international level.

Does USAPA have an international game plan? APA? IPA?

...

Rez, please tell us. Are you referring to the same ALPA game plan they sooooo successfully followed domestically?
You know, the one that provides unity and prosperity for all professional regional and major pilots in the US.
If so, count me in. ALPA's vision and leadership domestically in the past 30 years is the best.
For all the ALPA criticizers but a sock in it, ALPA deserves your support and love because they earned it.
That is also what ALPA means by: We are ALPA. Meaning WE not you. Because the We (ALPA National Leadership) know what is best for you and not you. Although you might think you do. But You really don’t. So you better get on the band wagon.
Thanks for your support and Monday do not wear your hat, that will show them.

Hindsight is 20/20....things could have been done better... like all those individual pilots that collectively voted to throw away scope....

Anyway... what ideas have you? How do you suggest we proceed?

Maybe have the members that are on the BOD represent the ratio of regional pilots at ALPA instead of it being nearly all legacy pilots.

From what I recall there is one VP from the regionals (eagle?) and he's in charge of paper clips or something.

I've heard there are more regional Alpa pilots than from the majors?

Or just continue the conflict of intrest?

I think we all know what's going to happen.

The members on the BOD do represent the ratio of regional pilots at ALPA. Each member of the BOD carries a roll call vote for each pilot he/she represents.

There are approximately 16,000 fee for departure/regional pilots in ALPA, that's 16,000 roll call votes, on the other hand there are approximately 34,000 pilots who are not regional pilots.

DAL/UAL/CAL/FDX represent approx. 26,000 ALPA pilots.

Eagle is the 5th largest carrier in ALPA behind Delta, United/Continental, and FedEx. Soon to be 4th after the United merger.

So there is actually a numerical reason ALPO screws the regional pilot, got it, thanks.

Incorrect. There are actually three EVP's from regional airlines. They are from Eagle, ASA, and ExpressJet.

Do you know who your EVP is? Are you engaged in the process? Do you attend union meetings? Do you vote?

It seems as if most on this board would rather complain and play the victim rather than lift a finger and participate in his/her future.

ALPA has three paperclip committees. Who knew!?
