USAPA Trial

[PHXFLYR]

Well then by God, if there's ever an election for a new son of god and you're running against Jesus Christ you'll get my vote, you pillar of integrity, you.

Your a real smart-a$$ aren't you?

Wow, not much gets past you, eh?

I thought USAPA was transparent. No inside deals, no FPL w*************************, real voting on contracts and side letters and new blood in office, not the same ALPA hacks that had the old AAA looking like the Hatfield/McCoys when it came to domicile reps. Bradford(really Cleary) had a vision to be as pure as the Virgin Mary! Tell me it ain't so!

Ok....it ain't so

In all seriousness, it's a hell of a lot better than ALPA was and regardless of how our differences end up getting settled (or, not settled, as the case may be) the vast majority of us are happy with the change.

Had an ATLAS guy recently recently express his congratulations on getting rid of ALPA. They had some of the same problems with the Beast, and Prater, that we did.

Had some DAL exNWA guys onthe crew van. Congrulating on ridding alpa, as he said he wished NWA had the balls to do the same. Said he felt they got screwed with their integration, just not as bad as the US pilots did...


But he did say he felt more like a real pilot with the new delta uniform they were wearing (snicker ha.) as he was uncomfortably trying to figure out what to do with the new sparkly hat he had acquired...

The irony is that the NWA and AAA MEC's (along with other MEC's) helped tailor and vote in ALPA merger language via the BOD. Anyone complaining about how ALPA National functions, probably ought to be looking a little closer as to how their own MEC is conducting business.

Nah. It's much easier to blame everyone else for your problems.

Gee that's funny. I've had lots of DAL guys claim the same thing (that they got screwed). I guess it was a pretty fair integration after all?

And how would a USAPA-like in-house union make things better? Oh, it wouldn't.

Yeah, I'm sure that's exactly what he said. I've ridden on NWA and Delta a number of times since there award. They've all told me, "I'm just glad we're not in that horrible mess you're in." I'd like to think they're learning from our (*by which I mean YOUR) mistakes.

I know exactly how that poor guy feels. I felt the same way when I put on that "proud" USAir uniform the 1st time. Although I figured out that the sparkly hat was suppose to go on my head.

You'd do better to emulate me rather than mock me.

And BTW, I'm not a Christian so even your mocking statement makes no sense.
