PROBLEM:
How can a pilot, with his/her career interests at mainline US Airways, be expected to act in the best interest of an Express carrier?
Should US Airways pilots be able to vote and hold office at a wholly owned or contract carrier while participating in Jets for Jobs?
SUBJECT:
Voting or holding office at affiliated carriers through Jets for Jobs
(Dual Seniority on affiliated carriers)
SOURCE:
PSA Airlines
BACKGROUND:
Jets for jobs is a new concept with unique problems. US Airways pilots have managed to obtain jobs at Express carriers without communication or negotiation with said carriers.
With the advent of “Jets for Jobs”, the potential exists for mainline pilots to hold union positions where they can make policy changes and advance agendas that would benefit them and mainline with little or no regard to the company or the pilots of the affiliated carriers.
PROPOSED RESOLUTION:
Whereas jets for jobs is a new concept with unique problems, and
Whereas Jets for Jobs has been embraced by ALPA national and signed by ALPA President Captain Duane E. Woerth, and
Whereas the (USAirways) mainline pilots have already negotiated items causing potential harm to affiliate pilots without consulting any affiliated carriers, and
Whereas (USAirways) mainline has shown no intent in stopping their pursuit of negotiating agreements to protect their pilots at the expense of affiliate pilots, and
Whereas this continued negligence could lead to the downfall of ALPA.
Therefore be it resolved that the mainline pilots shall be barred from voting or holding an elected office at a participating affiliate carrier through Jets for Jobs until such a time an equitable solution can be found.
