Lufthansa pilots now on strike!

[inthegoo]

Glad to see there is a pilot group out there that actually has a set!

 

[samballs]

Alpa is holding meetings on how to sabotage this, to cover alpas failures

So what happens when Lufthansa pilots come out of this with a single seniority list for all Lufthansa subsidiaries?

 

[goahead]

ALPA suxs, take note and leave the ATA alone

Good for them! However, it's also nice that they have a government and laws that allow them to strike. That's the kicker.

EXACTLY!!!!!!! Get those GOP boys out of the senate.

EXACTLY!!!!!!! Get those GOP boys out of the senate.

And who was president when American tried to strike and had a PEB issued? Which party has been in control of congress starting with the 110th? Which president initiated de-regulation of our industry?

To think that EITHER party has pilot's best interests near and dear to their hearts is foolish.

APA is not a part of AFLCIO...that's why Clinton invoked the PEB. One of the first things Bush did was say that there would be NO airline strikes during his Presidency. He soon thereafter didn't allow the NWA mechanics to strike.

Your right that BOTH parties suck!!!...but in my opinion, the Dems are definitely more labor friendly.

Well, if it makes you feel any better; Comair went on strike for 89 days during Bush's term.

 

[wmuflyguy]

Strike apparently has been suspended.

The Clinton NMB was still in office at the time. The Bush NMB didn't take office until months later. It takes a little while for new administrations to get into place. Obama's NMB has only been in place for about six months.

And it's working out faaaannnnntastic.

Yep, it is. The AmeriJet pilots were released and got a contract, the Hawaiian pilots got big improvements after pressure from the Obama NMB, and the Spirit, TSA, and AirTran pilots will probably be released or have TAs this year.

Everything that PCL pointed out wasn't just a mere coincidence, mind you. That's why he is so certain about what Obama's NMB will do that he used the word "probably" in his predictions.
