For all those opposed to an in-house.....I understand that ALPA has more resources, but you gotta start with baby steps. Sure in the beginning it will not be what ALPA is, but was ALPA what it is today in the beginning? What is essential to success in any union is the leadership. If you have a bunch of pansies, of course it won't work. If you have a good solid foundation and guys/gals with ba!!s and great leadership, eventually it will be good. The problem these days is that too many people are strictly out for themselves only which creates a divided pilot group which is exactly what management jerks off to thinking about every night.
So from the pilots, who signed off on the pay rates side letter a couple of years ago? I thought that the rates in the side letter were only for 18 months? Do you have new rates for the larger aircraft (70 seat)?
