No ALPA Lanyards at AirTran!!!!!!!!!

It is good to see, maybe the pilots now will start controlling the throttles and the fly safe book !!!

Remember how ASA got a contract in just over 10 days of 35% ontime, I believe the taxi speed of a brisk walk, and being number 30-45 aircraft waiting on a MX guy, did not take long to tell MGT. that we run the airline everyday!!!!

Scarlet, you ASA?
If so, did you guys get any legal heat for this one? That's about the only way to get these jackhole's attention, but there's the fear of the union being sued. I'd love it if we could pull that off here. Until then, I'll wear the ALPA lanyard and not do jacksh$@ outside the contract.

That needs to come from within. A phone tree would be a good start.

Exactly. As long as the union does not give the order. Time for a grassroots fly safe campaign.

Are you that clueless?!?!, or do they not have a virtual union at your virtual airline?

We are looking into it. Of all the virtual Unions...ALPA does have the best sales pitch. We'll wait to see how your virtual payraise goes before putting it to a vote. Cheers!

Well, hopefully your "airline" will have a great turnout with the membership drive. If I were you, I would push in your Virtual PWA that your Mom has to stockpile plenty of Hot Pockets and Full Throttle for crew meals. "ALPA, the Virtual Pilots Union"

I'm looking forward to the re-emergence of the Virtual Crewbases, coming to a hometown near you!

"ALPA, the Virtual Pilots Union"

You're 100% correct...ALPA is a virtual Union. Don't get any crazy ideas about making big changes at AT...you don't want to muddy the waters and get ALPA in trouble. ALPA first...then the pilot group. Enjoy the magazine.

A little thing called the law. Ever hear of it?
