Teamsters Push for Southern Air

[l8fr82hub]

Not trying to flight with you, but We talk to ALPA and they won't Take (PFE) professional Flight Engineers,( our PFE "most" do not have Pilots licenses) Capital and Evergreen and ATI are (FE) Flight Engineers. which are pilots. trust me i would rather have ALPA any day.

Having worked at Evergreen previously and currently with ATI I will tell you for a fact the ALPA does and recently has accepted PFEs. Most of ATI's PFEs do not have pilots licenses but do have A&Ps. ALPA even had PFEs in 1999 when the Emery pilots voted them in. If you don't believe me ask the former ATI and Emery employees that now work at Southern.

Send me a PM and let me know who you've been talking to. I do organizing work for ALPA, so I'll be happy to hunt down what's going on and get it sorted out for you.

ALPA has no problem taking PFEs.

ALPA took ATA's PFE's.

We talk to ALPA, they won't take our PFE!

Somebody is feeding you a bunch of garbage!

There are VERY FEW FE's at Evergreen. Most are PFE's.

 

[ABUSED PILOT]

Our current MEC AT Evergreen is a PFE.

If you go Teamsters, go to 1224. Stay as far away from 747 as you can.

Or anyone else's money.

Be cautious of pcl_128's input. He has not seen daylight since he has put his nose up Prater's posterior in the hopes of moving up ALPA's limited food chain for non-legacy carrier guys (Airtran). He just has not realized it yet, but ALPA is now aiming itself towards making itself a legacy only union. Everyone else is just there to pay dues and extra fees to support that if your a non-legacy carrier. Him admitting it is a whole different matter.

ALPA wants dues paying members. Equal representation on the other hand is something else.

If your ACMI with alpa representation, your just paying dues. Don't expect representation. Been there and done that.

If you do go Teamsters go 1224 and get it in writing that you will be in 1224. 747 is a black hole.
