SPA ALPA doesnt like web boards

Check out their latest P2P distribution.....


Fellow Pilots:


Negotiations under the direct supervision of NMB member Linda Puchala concluded yesterday. I will defer to the negotiating committee to provide any and all relevant details concerning those talks, we did not however, reach an agreement. We expect to hear something from the Board concerning our case, perhaps by early next week.


I have personally received several phone calls, as have many others, concerning proposed rates of pay and other details about negotiations. These reports have apparently come from the "spiritpilots" web board. Whatever is written there is FALSE. Whoever runs that board does not have accurate information. Further, those who run that web board, post on it, or actively participate in the rumormongering that takes place there, are doing this entire pilot group a disservice. If these half-wits on that board actually took the time to pick up their phone and give their REAL Leadership a simple phone call, they could actually get factual information. These people should be shunned, and treated as pariahs as they are actively seeking to undermine and destroy this pilot group. They will not succeed.


So, spread the word. If you want real information, tell people to call your true union leadership not those who hide behind internet message boards like cowards in the dark.


Thanks,


Paul Hopkins
SPA MEC SPSC Chairman

Agreed but I think someone is tweaking him. That letter was out of character. Insulting to lots of people. It surprised me.

Perhaps he is human.... when towing the line one can tire of looking back and seeing others ride.....

Why not just be truthful with your pilot group and give them details so that rumors don't get started? The union still has not told us anything worthwhile; instead, we get the standard talking points and are told to contact the union to get information? What?? Why can't they inform us? We're paying DUES! It's the UNION'S job to communicate effectively.

This is, by FAR, the WORST communicating union I've ever seen. Most airlines have unions that do an excellent job of keeping their members informed so that rumors are quickly dispelled.

The union STILL has not told us what the company proposed. Instead, we're scolded for participating on web boards and for wanting to be informed, while the "Super Secret P2P Committee" gets limited info at best. Unbelievable...the arrogance and tone of that email is appalling.

THEY want us to be dumb and un-informed. It ain't gonna happen on my watch.
