SH gets a no confidence vote

[79%N1]

Is this ASAinfo.com? Are we supposed to assume every post is about ASA until it says otherwise?

What kind of asinine comment is that???? It is a PUBLIC message forum, anyone can post anything they want. There happens to be a lot of ASA people that frequent this board. Nobody says you have to spend one second of your day reading any posts, let alone one started about ASA.....But you even take it a step farther - AND REPLY TO IT!

Go read something else if it bothers you.

There isn't a single good outcome for this. What's the point? Just a bunch of whiners that don't have a contract to bitch about anymore, so now there comes a new issue and redirection of anger.

The pilots in attendance put the motion on the floor, but who then votes on this? Is it the LEC or the MEC or the pilots in the room or who????

Perhaps some thought should have been spent with this rather than just a 1hr. ALPA meeting. At least float the idea out to the pilot group so more people show up at the next meeting to vote.

I thank the MEC/LEC/CNC for their efforts regarding the contract, but this has me scratching my head and saying WTF to myself.....

This is just STUPID STUPID STUPID STUPID STUPID STUPID STUPID!

Yes, he has from time to time supported/informed us of policies that don't exactly thrill me. However, to publicly put forth a 'vote of no confidence' for no apparent reason is inexplicable using 'grown up' logic. WTF, over?

Is there any more background to this available?

Also, why did this have to be published in the newsletter? Was this a draft newsletter from last summer that was never published?

He's doing his job, that is, to support the ongoing business interests of ASA, Inc., a subsidiary of Sky West. If he stops doing his job, and ASA tanks (not that he gets 100% credit for keeping the airline in business), then where will we be? Still putting forth garbage 'no-confidence' resolutions?

I feel like I'm teaching ALPA 101 here. A pilot made the resolution, and then the pilots in attendance at the meeting (not any LEC officers) voted in favor of the resolution. As I said before, due to the pathetically poor turnout at most LEC meetings, pretty much any resolution can get passed if you bring a few of your friends in support of it.

Perhaps you should have gone to the meeting yourself if you cared so strongly about the outcome. Decisions are made by those that show up...

I thinks you are teaching and everyone is deaf

folks, go to the ASA ALPA webboard and you will see who this is that put this forth. He is not speaking for all of us.

Like Swept said, go to the meeting if your this outraged over something you have no clue about.

He may be trying to speak for all of us, but he doesnt.

Also, Scott H. knows this person has a grudge, and I doubt he will take it personally as long as the MEC does not support it.

Hey man.. some things should not be broadcast on a public forum.. you need to keep these private moments to yourself.. thank you

:blush:

Hey man back, I said he has done many favors for me, I didn't say what he did. I didn't post anything in there that he wouldn't have done for you or any other ASA pilot.
Laughing, some of you guys need to get a grip.

I'm not suggesting to not post about ASA, only that if you throw in an "at ASA" quote from time to time it makes it easier to read. It's good to know what's going on at other airlines, but when the thread doesn't mention what airline it is, it's frustrating.

That assumes one knew ahead of time about this resolution and was able to attend the meeting.

You missed the point of his post completely.

You = Jake Gyllenhaal.
SH = Heath Ledger.

Get it?

Actually, again, I didn't miss the point. I will say it again, that the favors weren't any different than what he would have done for you or any other pilot at ASA. Do I need to spell it out for you? I guess I do.

Um, yeah, you completely missed DrewBlows point; the thread title is "SH gets a no confidence vote", yet it takes almost to the bottom of the first page until ASA is mentioned. So sure, the ASA guys get it, while the rest of us wonder what the thread is even about. Thats where his "ASAinfo.com" comment came from... poking fun at the fact that the original poster should put the subject airline somewhere in the original post. Okay? Lighten up.

OK, I guess you did understand that he was making a joke about you and Scott having an "unnatural" relationship that would better be kept private and you simply chose to take offense instead of finding it amusing. Sorry. :blush:

Again, It was a statement that there isn't anything Scott won't do for our pilots if you are upfront and honest with him.
I guess you guys still don't get it. I haven't take offense to anything that has been said on here. I take it with a grain of salt as I read the posts all the time and can't believe some of the crap that you guys say.
I guess that was a joke. haha. get a grip people.

His joke, your response. You either didn't get it or didn't like it because you felt the need to defend/clarify what you said.

Laughing, some of you guys need to get a sense of humor or develop a thicker skin.

YAWN, you're boring me, what the original post was again to say that Scott Hall isn't the monster that people think he is. Everyone thinks that he doesn't do a good job at ASA. It doesn't matter, I know what I know.
Yawn, I will go to bed now, im tired of playing little boys and girls.
