Single Representation at SWA/AirTran

[DUBLINFLYER]

PCL, how far could you throw ALPA? - they would not go far as they would be in your back pocket straight away gobbling up the union dues until the end

That's because most could give a rat's ass about ALPA. After the way things went down, most could give a rat's ass about SWAPA as well.

Put me in this category...

Phred

I think ALPA should remain AAI's representative until the partition is taken down and all disputes and lawsuits related to the SLI are settled. Also it's very important PCL gets best pay until the last day.

And yet, the thread seems to be getting a big yawn by most.

Say we stick with ALPA, no change in day to day life.

Say we switch to SWAPA, no change in day to day life.

I can see why this isn't burning up cockpits or forums.

Airtran pilots are our brothers and sisters now...while we have our 2%ers, the other 98% will not tolerate them getting bent over by SWAPA or SWA.

Thank you for your realism and maturity level!

Nobody surveyed either side asking us what we felt about this, prior to the news.

We are cogs in the machine. Adapt and overcome. If people haven't learned that by now....sorry!

Let's see...ALPA fouled up the seniority integration, rejected SWA pay rates, rejected a fence for AT guys, rejected 850 captain seats, got embarrassed after a pathetic do-over attempt in the DRC arbitration, and now ALPA has decided it's time for SWAPA to take over.

Classic.

Exactly right MK.

 

[Mk3tm]

For the sake of AT guys I hope it works, but why would SWAPA be in any hurry to take over representation?

 

[PCL_128]

Exactly right MK.

Not really.

Not really.

I pretty sure everything he said was factual. Just because you don't like it, doesn't make it false. Sorry.
