New ALPA National President Moak

Can anyone confirm?

 

[Bert Harbenson]

Yes. It is posted on the ALPA website.

good, prater is gone. what a piece of ###t.

 

[Frank Lorenzo]

Oh please....Oh please....Oh please let it be true!!!!!!

I thought the odds of getting a bigger sell out than Prater was slim to none. Then the storm clouds parted, and the executive management gods delivered Lee Moak on a silver platter.

I am giddy. I can't wait to have a pilot that knows how to "work with management." All of you pilots will soon be reaping the rewards of Lee's bargaining prowess. Might I suggest all of you flying a Boeing, Airbus or McDonnell Douglas product procure an RJ manual and start studying up?

The possibilities are endless! Besides "working with us" on RJ's, I'm sure Lee will come around to our way of thinking on a whole host of items like code sharing, cabotage, and taking full advantage of the new 9 hour flying limit.

Step right up folks, the concession stand is open for business!

What frank said.........

Good Stuff!!

It appears to be quite a shake up with the BOD. Looks like a few pilots might have to, heaven forbid, go back to flying airplanes.

Oh great! The last president of ALPA from Delta was Hank Duffy and that bozo needs more body guards than Frank Lorenso.

Prater should not of gone against the wishes of the majority of the members regarding age 65. I hope Moak has learned that lesson.

Except for that, Prater, IMO, has done well in bringing the unions from different properties together and also has done well representing us to congress and the FAA. I hope both of those will continue.

 

[Mamma]

Frank, you just had to gloat. Yes the truth hurts.

 

[redflyer65]

More RJ's for everyone!!

 

[Raoul Duke]

Didnt Prater take it back?

 

[Boxboy]

Didnt Prater take it back?

You mean, take it back up the arse?

No kidding. PCL128 must be sucking his thumb right now.

 

[General Lee]

This is great news for Delta pilots. Moak leaving the DL MEC means fewer secret LOA's with management, and the only way he would leave the DL MEC was if he got sent to National. And, he did it. Maybe a FNWA Cobra will take over the job now at the DL MEC, or JM can come back. (the guy who did the C2k contract)


Bye Bye--General Lee

Looks like the hardest working man at the ATN MEC got a seat at the big kids table. Congratulations to him, he will be missed!

 

[Daytonaflyer]

Do you think this could have anything to do with the recent attempt by Delta to form an in-house union? Perhaps ALPA adding a Delta pilot as chairman would help show them some love. Or is it coincidence?

Who's that?

This was not a sure fire win. It took many rounds. First vote had LM and SS dead tied at 13K. Rice finally backed out and then it came down to three. Either way, LM has always been a person that thinks on the scale National deals with. We will see where ALPA goes from here.

I suspect that the DAL MEC will look vastly different on Jan 1, 2011.

Who's that?

T.O., it's in the ALPA press release. He spearheaded the drive to bring ALPA on property, bringing an end to the joke of a union that we had. He also stuck his neck out on many occasions prior to ALPA in the face of the Eastern Alumni, hostile management and an in house union that didn't want their apple cart turned over.
