Maybe you should give up on your Hawaiian desires than as most of us here are stand firmly behind ALPA.I hope someone slams ALPA. Mesaba's union reps are lap dogs to national-they would barely admit that a bunch of us were slammed on our seniority but never once admitted that we were treated unfairly-even though many of my group in Mesaba got 2:1 or even 3:1 on our seniority. But hey as they said....as long as the Senior mesaba pilots got a good deal.....WTF! If you were hired between 2001 and 2004/5 you got the serious shaft-I wish I could join you TWA people in your fight against ALPA
BTW-I directly hold ALPA national responsible for not having in place a fair and defined merger policy.....HOW THE F%^K CAN YOU ALLOW BLOCK TO PUT GUYS WITH HALF MY LONGEVITY BE SENIOR TO ME??????? stab me in the back.....NEVER TRUST ALPA>>>>>I say this knowing I think I know some good people at our local level....they try to fight the good fight but still drink the ALPA cool aid too much
HOW THE F%^K CAN YOU ALLOW BLOCK TO PUT GUYS WITH HALF MY LONGEVITY BE SENIOR TO ME???????
You seem to have the same mental block as USAirways East pilots. Hate to break it to you, but longevity does not equal seniority.

Trouble is we have allowed ALPA to change this definition in the the merger policy.When i started this was the exact definition that was used.ALPA outsources one of its major responsibilities when it uses arbitrators.
So, how does Valujet determine your seniority if not by your longevity? How was your list put together if not by longevity. Every other union in this world assigns seniority by your DOH. Just the PFT generation sees it different.

USAPA's seniority proposal puts a guy that was hired two months before me ahead of me on that list. However, I have almost twice the LOS as this guy. Explain to me how that fits in with your longevity argument?
You came across as bitterly anti-ALPA and Hawaiian is an ALPA carrier. Happily so in my opinion and I don't see that changing anytime soon. I was not judging your character, I was suggesting that if you are as anti-ALPA as your post suggested, you might want to reconsider as you would be joining a pro-ALPA pilot group if hired. Your subsequent post clarified your ALPA attitude somewhat but the statement "I hope someone slams ALPA" is what gets me.....words.......
Why couldn't one of the millionaires at national say to our mec "Don't do that...put an end date to the draconian pay cuts"?????
If national is truly not in the loop at all on contracts, LOA's, grievences etc... then why be ALPA? For the magazine? No one here will answer my question.
Millionaires at national? No one at national is a millionaire. Not even close. They make little more than a senior line holder at their respective airlines.
Correction. The PFT crowd and the FEDERAL COURT SYSTEM see it differently.So, how does Valujet determine your seniority if not by your longevity? How was your list put together if not by longevity. Every other union in this world assigns seniority by your DOH. Just the PFT generation sees it different.
