UAL Furloughees... We're supposed to have jobs

Until we lock Bruce York, and the other alpa lawyers in a closet, we will all continue to suffer c-scale conditions. They are the ones who convince the MEC's to go along with outsourcing.
More outsourcing means more express carriers, meaning more lawyers "representing" each carrier...

Actually, more outsourcing means less revenue, which means fewer lawyers. Bruce is a top notch negotiator, and ALPA is lucky to have him. I've never once heard him advocate outsourcing.

But, one thing that ALPA has never been able to do successfully is eliminate or even reduce the greed of individual pilot groups, or for that matter individual pilots. Sadly, I'm afraid that's too much to ask .... it would be un-American.

Meanwhile back at the ranch, we pilots consistently manage to fight among ourselves and play into the hands of management schemes. They know how we are, they know how we behave and they are able to play us against each other like the proverbial fiddle. Know why? Because we're just like them ... a collection of mini-capitalists ... each out for himself even at the expense of the whole.

Truer words have never been spoken.

Forget the loss of dues revenue, the loss of Captain Beebe as an Officer was the greatest tragedy in the defection of the AAA pilots. Great article.
