From what I understand, Chicago Express management ran a pretty good "scare" campaign to get pilots against ALPA representation.....sad tactics and a sad day.

A member of the organizing committee is a very close friend of mine--I've known him since our mother brought him home from the hospital. So I have some insight into the Chicago Express situation that you don't.Originally posted by ultrarunner
Uhh, yeah, that's what it must have been....and not anyone looking at the facts or thinking for themselves. Give the group more credit, will ya!
The sad truth is that the majority of C.E.'s pilots--with a few notable exceptions--are too new to the industry to understand just how much ALPA membership would be worth to them. The junior pilots are so happy just to have a job flying airplanes, they have neither the time nor the inclination to seriously consider the union issue. The company and their "bosses" (old captains) make a lot of negative noise, and they buy it. The perceived injustices being visited upon "express pilots" elsewhere didn't help any either. [/B]
