ALPA best represents the interests of the OLD highest paid, highest dues paying members and all potential new ones. All of us in between are screwed!
Seems like it's ALL about the money for ALPA
How can you take it back when you never had it in the first place?
You regional guys just don't get it. You cost ALPA far more than you'll ever pay in!!! You hear that giant sucking sound? That's the sound of the regional ALPA carriers sucking all of the dues income from the legacy carriers who actually pay for the ALPA services that you use. If ALPA was "all about the money" as you say, then ALPA would dump every regional airline and only focus on the legacies. There's no money to be made in representing regional pilot groups.
I love it:
YOU REGIONAL GUYS
You have been away from GIA how long?
Maybe it's just time for the regionals to leave ALPA.... then everyone will be happy....
I agree. Now how do we get there, Joe. I think the upcoming flowthrough agreement at USAir is a good start, along with the Compass/NWA flowthrough, but you don't agree with those programs. What do you suggest? And please don't just launch into another diatribe about how ALPA has screwed you over. We've all heard it before. Let's hear some solutions for a change.There shouldn't be "regional" and "major" pilots... there should just be pilots....
PCL 128, being the good Herndon lap dog that he is, is saying that unions aren't about money.... However the facts don't back that up...
The AFL-CIO is supporting illegal alien amnesty and has filed a lawsuit against the "no match letter law".... you would think that the largest labor union would support laws that stop cheap labor from coming into the US, but they don't.... Why you ask? Because they are potential dues paying members.....
