Recognizing Sorbie and Evans

[PCL_128]

I am all for Unions...but make them in-house, please.

In other words, you're "all for unions, as long as they aren't effective."

In other words, you're "all for unions, as long as they aren't effective."

In house unions are attractive because they get to deal with the convenience and perceived effectiveness off small scale.

It is much easier to put up a wall around a small pilot group and say this our little world and thus, this is all we have to worry about.... In House unions can play ignorant to the 'goings on' beyond their walls....

However, reality is something different. The fact is, outside of those SWAPA, NPA, IPA, APA and IBT walls is a very big world with gathering forces....

Even SWAPA is finding this out with their latest TA and scope issue.

The Airtran pilots are realizing this.....


Back to Evans and Sorbie... they also realized this... in that an in house voice is better than no voice. If the in house unions are isolationist in a global economy, imagine what the JB pilot group is....

Again.... good job Sorbie and Evans...

Do you mean as effective as the ALPA which represents Pinnacle and Mesa? Why did you leave Pinnacle again?

Sorbie and Evans realised than an in-house Union is better than ALPA. It would have been easy for them to mindlessly jump on the ALPA bandwagon, but these two guys really thought this through and realized what was in the ibest interest of the JB pilots. Kudos to Sorbie and Evans for their true trailblazing nature.

So you left an effective union for an ineffective union....:laugh:

That is exactly what has happened within ALPA...There is a wall around every "unit" within ALPA....You just can't see it.....

All contract Local in nature

Remember all contracts from ALPA are local in nature, it could be why they are called locals. A Kitty Hawk 727 Capt made less than half of FedEx 727 Capt was paid. Bot hALPA Contracts.
