And yet you said just a few post back that you flew with a 'scab' some time ago, and all you did is 'give him the silent treatment. Why did you beat the hell out of him??? You wimpy bastard, you are a disgrace to all unionism.
On a serious note, so you think that the AWA pilots should have riots in the streets of PHX, and start throwing bricks, even though there is NO strike??
Nowhere did I advocate fist fights or riots. I merely pointed out the error in the other poster's statement that pilots have become more aggressive over the past few years. It's simply not true. I do believe we've become too soft when some pilots complain of too many calls to a hotline, though.
Also, when are you going to start a vote drive to bring your beloved alpa into airtran?? After all, what have you had, two failed TAs, and no progress. I know you said before, you would love to have alpa, but the pilots there don't want it. Tell you what, start an organizational drive, have a vote; NPA or alpa, and you can see what the pilots decide?? Oh, that's right, I believe that is what the US Air/AWA pilots did, right?
I believe I've answered this question before. Changing unions in the middle of contract negotiations would not be a smart move. I do hope to see the NPA merge into ALPA someday, however.
P.S. Also, FYI, to settle your misunderstanding from a previous thread; a friend of mine from airways, emailed me the letter that US Air V.P. of human resources sent to usapa, clearly stating that as per the CBAs (both agreements), and the company, there is a clear 'agency shop' agreement. Now, I hope that you call on all pilots to either pay union dues or the service fee, or as you said, the company should 'fire' them.
I don't care what the company says, the AWA pilots shouldn't send a dime to USCABA. Let's see them terminate 1800 pilots all at once.
