United Takes Action to Protect Customers

Google "democrat". THAT scares the hell out of me.

Gup

How about we stop Googling everything.

Is Google making us dumb?

It'll be interesting to see what their excuse is when the Dems throw the RLA back in their face...

it's just as ....(cough cough) "interesting" .... watching you guys hold on to the party lines when we've all seen and felt what the Republicans have done to our career.

Listen, its not a coincidence that the McCain Campaign uses a non-Union Airbus operator for the campaign plane, "Straight Talk Express."

The message isn't even subliminal.

Didn't Anderson scare Delta ALPA back into the basement when they did something similar?

Nope.

Leo sued 49 pilots back during contract 2000 and won. Now there's a disclaimer every time you sign into the ALPA board you have to click through.

Here's an article about the campaign 737 from end of June. BTW, I support neither candidate.

Obama would cut taxes for 95% of Americans, including you.

Rez,

What is ALPA's plan if Obama is elected along with a Dem controlled House & Senate in terms of passing legislation that would drastically modify or even eliminate the RLA?

They DO have a plan, right?? This 2 yr window is crucial to have a chance to pass legislation.

Does the RLA need to be modify? Or just interpreted favorably?

Are you assuming that I'm voting for McCain?

Modified. Favorable interpretations only last as long as you've got a labor-friendly administration. More stringent language would last no matter who's in office.

what do we need to change and what can we realistically change?

::sigh:: Yeah, pretty much.

I wish those on this thread that would like to discuss and debate the Dem vs. Rep crap would take it to the "non-aviation topics" forum.

This thread is about UAL and how they are absolutely ruthless in fcuking over all of the employees of a once-great airline. Sadly, they decided to pick on the pilots first.

Everyone on this board should be furious about this. If you don't think it could happen with your airline, you're way, way wrong.

No.

But the reasons most conservatives don't like mccain are not reasons that will support our career. Mccain's view on unions are one aspect where he actually is in line w/ the Republican party.

REZ:

How about a change to non-political appointees to the NMB?

A national seniority list, which would allow you to retain seniority when leaving a job, and to take only openings where they occur...

A change to the RLA, which enslaves us, or a new code to operate under...

A new, invigorated, courageous alpa leadership, willing to engage in civil disobedience. Willing to actually take a risk to fight for this profession. Willing to lock the lawyers up in a closet....for only 30 minutes....

You have no idea how unified this nations pilots could become, with only a little leadership...

some of these things may be attainable with a democratic admin., or maybe not.

A vote for McCain is a looming disaster for U.S. airline pilots... and if anyone thinks McCain is better at defence or security, look at Bush and his crew- all the stellar resumes, and they still fu**** up Iraqistan....
