SWAPA/ATN process agreement update

[Kharma Police]

I thought that you didn't want to pay us the money ?

SWAPA recruitment of AirTran pilots: Like having a guy with a carving knife chasing you. He's yelling " I want you to join our club. Just give us your wife and the last ten years of your life. We'll pay you big money"

You wouldn't be trying to destroy a deal your CEO is trying to make. Would you ?

The more I think about it, after reading the SWAPA email, the more I realized that there was something in the agreement that was adverse to the AirTran pilots that got overlooked during the first glance, no wonder SWAPA wanted it signed quickly! SWAPA's lost opportunity and the angry reaction after getting caught with their hand in the cookie jar was to go on the offensive and blame ALPA.

p.s. nice picture of the 737 that was supposed to be delivered to us on SWAPALUV. CLASSY!!!!!

That would go over well during ALPA recruitment drives at Jet Blue and SkyWest. We have 1700 pilots at AirTran, I think ALPA will still be able to pay the light bill in Herndon when we're gone.

KP, you really do need to think this over. At least consider that it might be playing a role in the decisions at ALPA.

How much INCOME does ALPA receive every month from your pilot group? You don't think millions of dollars in lost INCOME is a factor?

Come on McFly, think!

Your lawyers are doing what lawyers do well. Bill a bunch of hours looking into worthless garbage and lining their own pockets.

Classic lawyers :" I think we really need to look into this part it could be really important"

Bill more hours. Bill more hours. Bill more hours. Get it?

You will be surprised who will be paying the bill...........

Take as long as you want to get on the list. The only payments coming to your checking acccount will be the ones from your contract.

Get radical and burn it down brother!!

I still get paid twice a month; besides, 18 months isn't such a long time.

18 months? Good luck we're all counting on you. That clause in your contract has as much value as a no furlough clause (SL8) does. Totally useless.

Hopefully, with our mutual hard work and respect it will be less than 18 months.

SWAPA wasn't the only union at the table when the process agreement was MUTUALLY agreed upon.

Way to "stay classy" yourself Kharma.

The MUTUAL agreement was subject to review by BOTH parties. We just wanted to sleep on it and have another set of lawyers look at it. They found what SWAPA didn't want us to find and all of a sudden (once again) ALPA is the bad guy. Rather than face the membership and say we got caught, SWAPA goes on the offensive and accuses ALPA of dragging their feet and being difficult. Again, CLASSY!!!!!!
