What is the status of the ALPA De-certification vote at US Airways?

You speak of Unionism as the utopia of aviation labor. a benchmark of what all should strive for. If that is ALPA, it misses the mark. USAPA may not be perfect, but is sure focuses on the right thing, the pilot, not the organization.

NOPE, it focuses on screwing the AWA pilots, PERIOD. Not about ALPA, just about screwing the AWA guys because usapa is bigger.

Bullsh*t. It focuses on the fantasized benefits to the EAST pilot and the sole detriment of the WEST pilot. In other words, the east wants to eat the benefits of the west just like a parasite, or (in labor terms) a scab.

Maybe an "East" pilot can chime in here...but the wages they are working for today...are in fact, union wages...negotiated by ALPA.

Just to clarify. Unofficially, USAPA's plan to get the company to recognize their DOH seniority list is by accepting a labor contract that is substantially below market value. In other words, their willing, (by simple majority) to sign a sh*t contract, for a ridiculously long term. In trade, they get their list. That organized action would more than qualify USAPA voters as SCABS.

In the end, the List will still be the list. Their law firm is filling them with false hope all the while draining what is left of their miserable paychecks. Idiots.
