Midway and Duane Woerth

[dashflyer]

How many of you think Duane Woerth will sign off on Midways concessionary contract just to keep them in business????

 

[AFELLOWAVIATOR]

He stated at our meeting that he has no intention of doing so. He said it was seriously lacking. Then he said some thing about it "being" the bottom, not just a race to the bottom.

 

[Rottweiller]

But that didn't stop him when it came to MESA??!!

 

[BLWME]

lets do some math, ALPA needs dues.

They shot most of their wad with FEDEX and CAL.

Midway produces some income thus allowing DW to show some potential battle funds for the future.

sign off on the contract to keep pilots employed in order to continue cash flow into alpa. oh yea

 

[surplus1]

Cash flow from Midway? Surely you're not serious.

As for Mesa, DW didn't sign because of Mesa's cash flow. He signed because Mesa was willing to accept his Jets for Jobs program, which forced all the other subcontractors to do the same (as he knew it would).

 

[T-Gates]

Isn't Midway a J4J carrier as well?

Albeit a small one....

WRONG....PSA accepted J4J's first....THAT started the ball rolling.

So did Midway. There are USAir pilots on at Midway via the J4J program. But that kind of steals your thunder doesn't it? Kind of like the merger arbitration thing. The question is, what else do your followers on this board don't know that you are wrong about??

Thats what I thought.....

No, not wrong. Don't make assumptions just read what I wrote. PSA is a wholly owned subsidiary, as are PDT and ALG. All 3 were forced into J4J before Mesa. Mesa is the 1st subcontractor to accept that crap, which resulted in the others (TSA and CHQ) doing the same.

Not too long ago a few of you Mesa people were bragging that J4J was the "idea" of your MEC Chairman. That you are proud of that indicates your gullibility.

They ALL know that Midway got a stay of Chapter 7 by using funding provided by USAir so that they could be forced to take the J4J crap. They had no choice. Mesa had a choice. Yes I know that there are USAir pilots at Midway. Sort of ironic, seeing as how Midway has a bunch of its former pilots on the street.

ALPA is not only willing to steal jobs from employed pilots, it is also willing to steal them from furloughed pilots.

Now what else is it that YOU don't know?

Yet more proof of the arrogance, the inability to admit wrong. I present you all the mindset of the leaders of the organization known as the R.....no I won't thread creep.

Duane did not sign the CC Air contract for similar reasons.
