USAPA may mean Nic implemented immediately

[Flying Horses]

One of USAPA's main reasonings is that if they were the new union, they wouldn't have to follow the seniority award created through another union's (ALPA's) merger policy. However, by that same logic, if USAPA were to become the new union, the company can say they don't have to follow the transition agreement agreed to by another union as well.

Thus, I think they could legally then say the award already given to them by the current union and a federally mandated arbitrator, and also already officially "accepted" by the company, would then go into effect immediately, if USAPA is the new union.

I think that would be very ironic. East pilots would still lose, and everyone would be stuck with a mickey-mouse union.

My opinion: vote for ALPA and work things out mutually like civilized human beings.

Logical considerations are not applicable. The east needs to believe what it wants...

It is part anger and part denial. When Nic becomes reality it will all be anger.....

Not a fun place...

The Show goes on and on
3 ALPA carriers bite the dust in as many weeks. MESA on the brink. But the ALPA "Mother Ship" show must go on. Business as usual! ALPA MEC meeting is being held at the at the Mandarin Oriental, Washington DC, described as one of the, “Top 100 Hotels of the World." Following are some of the descriptions of this hotel from their web site: "Quite simply we offer guests a new level of luxury." "Our elegant rooms and suites offer wonderful views. Our restaurant, CityZen, is under the guidance of Eric Ziebold, one of America’s ‘best new chefs’. Our spa facilities have earned one of the highest accolades in the region. Guests enjoy wonderful views over the stately city sights and waterfront. At Mandarin Oriental, Washington DC, we pride ourselves on providing a level of luxury that is unique in the American capital... grandeur that greets our hotel guests at every turn."

How many times are you going to post this? Is this a specific MEC or the BOD?

so, you're going to decertify your union because you don't approve of their hotel choices? This hotel is a union hotel, which is most likely why the MEC is staying there. ALPA dues dollars are supposed to go to union companies.

It seems to me that this is a very petty reason to not like your union. Have you asked the MEC Sec-Treas what cheaper union hotels were available in the area? Have you attempted to pass any resolutions limiting how much money your MEC can spend on hotels? Do you think that our dues dollars should go to Wal-Mart type companies instead?

Let's put them at the Quality Inn- in the Rainbow Room.

One MEC, no Transition agreement, imposed LOA on AMW, that equals a joint contract. Hello NIC!!. The only fun part about this will be watching the union busting jaws hit the floor when they figure out how badly they justed F-ed themselves. That will be hysterical.
