Quit ALPA Now!

"The trouble with the world is that the stupid are cocksure and the intelligent are full of doubt." - Bertrand Russell.

Rez, since you like to quote others because you're not able to think for yourself, and can only recite the ideaology of ALPA cronies, I got this quote for you:

"Wood drastically underestimates the impact of social distinctions predicated upon wealth, especially inherited wealth..." You got that from "Work in Essex County," Page 98, right? Yeah I read that too. Were you gonna plagiarize the whole thing for us- you have any thoughts of- of your own on this matter? Or do- is that your thing, you come into a bar, you read some obscure passage and then you pretend- you pawn it off as your own- your own idea just to impress some girls? Embarrass my friend?

"the stupid are cocksure"

Describes Prater and every other ALPA chest thumper.

Are you cocksure or intelligent?

The most important decision you can make right now is what you stand for- goodness...or badness

I bet you're a real gem to be stuck with in the cockpit with for 6 days in a row. Do you quote stuff to the other pilot? read them some poetry? or just bored them to death with stories about how you like to do some wood working in your spare time, and you strive to make the best wooden pen ever!

You make yourself out to be a whiny ALPA victim.... its embarrassing. Why would you allow yourself to be so dependant on an organization you despise. You can do better...be a better person.... why don't you want to improve instead of settling?

Aw, Rez! I see what you're doing here! You're trying to play the trick of avoiding the suckage of ALPA and making me out to be the bad guy.
You're a tricky one, but you're not going to get me!
There are two types of ALPA victims. First and foremost, the pilots who are forced to be ALPA members. Forced to pay the 2% a month for nothing.
And then the other victims are the ones who are star struck by the ALPA cheerleaders. Those are the guys who read the pamphlet and believe all the hype called ALPA. Those are also the guys who can't see through the fog, and are highly impressionable and shame on you for taking advantage of their stupidity!

I did work for the local when I was at an ALPA carrier, and I saw the BS from behind the scene. The man hiding behind the curtain, he had this saying it went like this : "Ok, this is what we're going to tell them...." and then it was followed by some BS twisted story. That story always contained some truth, but mainly filled with BS and fluff.
The other motto our local had was "I have a plan for your situation, but we're not able to discuss your personal situation with you at this time....". That really meant "hey, I was busy fishing the last week and haven't checked any of my emails or voice mails."

So before you come up with more assumptions about me, I ask you take the blinders off and see that great big steaming pile of ......for what it is.

Every story I have heard from those who have dealt with ALPA sounded similar. Alot of hype with nothing to back it up. If you openly disagree with ALPA, you're labled as a victim in a weak attempt to stifle your open discontent with ALPA. Don't forget, this is supposed to be a "professional" association too

But hey, give it some time. ALPA will be like the radical Muslims. You make fun of ALPA and they will behead you.

So what do you to defend yourself?
1. work out and stay in shape. Therefore you will easily outrun the overweight ALPA types. Also, keeping lean on body fat, chances are they won't be as likely to eat you....unless they have some really good BBQ sauce in their flight bags.

2. Stay away from the local fishing spots and golf course. Because they're usually there spending your dues while on "Union Duty"....Instead of flying or working for the pilot group.

3. Stay out of local strip clubs. That's the only place they can see a naked woman. But even strippers think ALPA guys are creepy, because their drool gets stuck in their mustaches.

4. Grow a mustache. They will just think you're another ALPA cheerleader, and pat your tooshy...it's the new ALPA secret hand shake.

I'm sorry Rez, but you make me laugh with your "words of the day".
So after breakfast each morning, when your mommy changes you out of your PJ's into your pilot uniform for the day. Does she just think of the first word off the tip of her tongue, and have you look it up in the dictionary?

Rez...If you only knew the damage you do to ALPA....

We would never allow ourselves to be dependant on ALPA....only an idiot would...

Those of us who don't drink the ALPA koolaid do want to improve our lots...ALPA can't deliver that, and only an idiot would believe they can...

Joe, you know the only Kool-Aid drinkers are non-union, pro management types.

The Union guys are drinking the fine wine, and Dewers whiskey.....that they get served while hanging out with their management buddies.

We all know ALPA is just a stepping stone for guys who are wanting to be airline management.
