When can AirTran dump ALPA?

[ron burgundy]

Our pilots are grossly uninformed as to b-funds..

And swapa has not tried to fix it.

Including a b-fund the total
compensation package raise has to be a 21% or we are
Screwd,,,,

and ....B-payscales

Anyway..hope every one had a good day..be careful out there!

Because it's easier faster and cheaper to try the DRC first. I predict if the AAI pilots don't get a huge win out of the DRC arbitrations that Federal court is the next step. This won't be over for years but that's not the important thing. The important thing is the ALPA lawyers and guys like PCL will continue to get paid.

Easier faster and cheaper to get a no at the DRC? I'll give you a yes at arby (which is sketchy at best), but then SWAPA has to agree go after SWA, which they won't. Which means a year later, you are right back where you should have gone to court in the first place against SWA: NOT SWAPA.

Yet more ALPA propaganda... Stop believing everything your union tells you, Ty.

They're blurple, not purple. Geez, get it right, willya'?

Bubba,

We have two choices as to who represents us during the DR process. The dispute is centered around SWA and SWAPA collaboratively trying to introduce us to the taste of pillow. You don't seriously believe that SWAPA is the best choice to represent our interests ..... Do you ?

I have my issues with ALPA, but even I don't believe that SWAPA is a better choice in this instance.

You have no idea what you're talking about.

So lets flip it, the arbitrator says no, disagrees with AT's position, do you guys go to court?

According to some here, yes, which is interesting because if you don't like the SLI, which you agreed to follow, and don't like the DRC position, which you agreed to follow, and then don't like an arbitrators ruling which you agreed to follow, WTFO? You really want to burn up any shred of hope this will end in a positive point for all?

 

[madjack]

But it will be SWAPA that must negotiate with SWA in your behalf if there is arbitrated award...

Ding! Word.

There is absolutely no way for this to end positively for all. That ship sailed a long time ago. We just want SWA to honor the agreements. They refuse to without this DRC. It's that simple.
