FDJ true, but those are airframes being sold. We could do that as well, but it is a little different with the transaction equates to the closure of the company.
 
Why? We're not merging with MEH. We've taken delivery of 17 AA B757s and there has been no fight to put AA pilots on the combined list. World took delivery of most all of our MD-11s and there was no fight to combine the lists. NWA has some old EAL DC-9s and there was no fight to put Eastern pilots on the list. Airlines sell aircraft to other airlines all the time with no requirement to merge work forces.

.....possibly because it would be the right thing to do if you want to build solidarity and a true union....Nevermind....You're right....This "association" wouldn't know solidarity if it bit them in the A$$....

There are already mutually acceptable plans in place for MEH, as well as Compass.

Nu

ALPA doesn't buy and sell airplanes or pilots.

That would depend on the nature of the transaction and the contractual language in the respective PWAs.

....as opposed to a real union that takes care of other members of said union.....

We only take care of each other if the contract says we have to.......
 
....and each "unit" within ALPA does what is best for themselves.....

Each "unit" is made up of pilots that want their airline to succeed. This means other airlines wont succeed. It's the free market. There is no job guarantee in any industry even heavily unionized industries.

How would you handle the pilots of a dying airline that is selling its aircraft or goes chapter 7 or is no longer competitive and must shrink.
