Management is now making pilots pay the ten dollar fee before they can get hired to post. It's called PFP- "Pay-for-Posting."

The fact that unions exist is pretty sad. What is even worse is a company can't even decide if they want to allow it or not. The government has put a burden on companies that operate in this country because of this. If you like a company don't work at it. There is nothing forcing you to work there. Unions are nothing more than organized criminals.

No idiot, what is sad is that unions were forced to exist because of bad management practices. One of the reasons ALPA was started in teh first place back in the 30's was because a company would wait till a pilot had been employed for 364 days, then fire him, let him re-apply, and then re-hire him at first year pay. Do you really believe that without unions things like that would not happen again? No, they don't happen at non union carriers, because those carriers don't want a union to form. Many airlines, before ALPA, would require a pilot to pay if they were piloting an a/c that was damaged. Think that might happen again without a union? You are truely an idiot. If you think unions are so evil then quit ASA, if you rally work here, and go fly for SKY. I'm sure they will be glad to have you at first year pay.

Last night after the alien anal probe bigfoot promised me $50 dollars for every anti-union post I made. Then management showed up with a kegerator full of blue coolaide. It mixes with cheap vodka pretty good!

"They killed Kenny."

"Who killed Kenney?"

"They, you know, them...they're Ba$tards!"

Conspiracies are everywhere if you smoke enough weed...

There are people hired to come on these boards to influence your decision.

How's the pay and QOL?

 

[labbats]

All your boards are belong to us.

 

[DrewBlows]

All your boards are belong to us.

I laugh every time I read that.

 

[belchfire]

All your boards are belong to us.

ROFLMAO...at least it was just the hotelroom that got sprayed with beerfoam this time and not my 'puter!

Who is us? Are we them? And where are they anyhow? Did they send the paychecks yet?

Remember without managment there would be no airlines, kinda like women can't live with them; can't live without them.

Just a thought to stir it up a little...

There are people elected and paid to spin anti mgmt dribble and post it on these boards, send it to your house, talk your ear off in the cockpit, and use the sacred bulletin board in the crew room. Yes, they are your union leadership.

It cuts both ways guys. Remember the truth is somewhere in the middle.

Remember the truth is somewhere in the middle.

Reminds me of that line from "training day" regarding pockets being on either side of the middle and reaching into them to pay the bill.

Management? Paid to come here? Say it isnt so! :uzi:

 

[ASARJMan]

your decision. They pose as pilots. Some are very outspoken as to why unions are evil and others more subtle. They will sign up and make enough random posts to appear like a normal pilot poster then start the politcal machine moving along (ie Hey instead of a raise i would just be happy with what SkyWest has...). Its a subtle process to lead less sophisticated minds to where a given management wants them.!

Agree. Superpooter, atlcrjdriver, denumnuts, voiceofridulous, crashpad, etc, even ole Joe Merchant (although he's a pilot). Voting YES, strike ballots on the way.

As an elected rep, I'm curious what you think I'm "paid" to spread this "dribble" you speak of. All ALPA committee members and Officers are strictly volunteers.

 

[gator_hater]

Not just local MEC types, they are elected and yes, volunteers. By being paid I was refrencing those at the higher levels who seem t make a career out of this stuff (Duane). Not saying that everone out there is compensated, but I would consider dropping a 4 day, getting paid, and going to 2 days of meetings compensation.
