The election - a real discussion

[stlflyguy]

So let me ask: what happens if USAPA WINS? Lawsuits start flying?

The talk about not being able to run an independent union seems pretty baseless. SWA, AA, the Trannies et al, seem to do alright.

The lawsuits start flying if USAPA wins and conducts themselves as if they are only representing East pilots (i.e. attempting to negotiate a DOH list against our wishes). Open and shut DFR case.

Other independent unions do work. That doesn't mean USAPA will work. Was SWAPA, APA, et al formed on a platform of divisiveness? Do they function with only 65% of their members paying dues? Are they mired with legal costs that force huge assessments from their membership? Should they prevail, expect universal misery for both west (obvious reasons) and east (for being lied to and taken out behind the woodshed--AGAIN).

Sorry PosRate if this isn't civil enough for your thread. I tried.

Not sure if I posted it, but I'm leary whenever I see a cut in the middle of a tape. It's been edited. The video came in, in the middle of the conversation, was cut out, and spliced back in. Yes there were cost neutral words in there. But show the whole conversation, was it saying that a reordering of the list would be a cost neutral way for the company to bring labor peace, which would be contained in the contract.

I didn't see the original video, so I don't know what was said etc....

Here's a link to the video from the UCRAPA website.
