Rez O. Lewshun said:Trying to rev up the ALPA hate machine?
Boeingman said:Are you saying that their notable abscence during such trying times at NWA is excusable? Defensible? Reasonable?
Or is this just another example of a lesson lost on unionism where ALPA has failed once again to support their brother unions? Failed once again to grow a pair of balls?
Occam's Razor said:Where was ALPA?
At NWA, it appears they were negotiating. Their hotline sez there will be a number of crewroom and base informational meetings this week to provide updates on negotiations, and take feedback.
Would you prefer a meaningless gesture of yelling at the CEO?
If so, you and I should play high-stakes poker together someday.
Here's an interesting quote from the article:
"AMFA's campaign to stop the union-busting tactics of Steenland and Northwest Airlines is being supported by Ray Rogers, director of Corporate Campaign and a nationally known figure in the labor movement."
1. Who cares if he supports it?
2. He's an idiot. (I've met him)
3. His efforts have been wildly successful for those AMFA guys, huh?
Rez O. Lewshun said:I'll defer to post #4. Occam speaks to the issue, is pragmatic and objective. You on the other hand....well I'll let your emotional, rehtorical post speak for itself....
I'll help....
What specifically do you want ALPA to do?Please limit your responses to pragmatic, legal solutions..... IOW show us how you are smarter than ALPA National and the full time staff working the issues daily.....
How has ALPA not lived up to your expectations?
If you were King for a Day what would you do?
Boeingman said:Occam is living in the past and is delusional if he thinks traditional, non confrontational, quiet tactics will work with NWA management. Just as you are living in a fantasy world that ALPA is without fault and earning every cent of their members dues dollars.
Rez O. Lewshun said:More rhetoric....
ALPA has its problems.... Not living in a fantasy world...actually trying to deal with reality....but guys like you with your rhetoric and emotion make it difficult...
Boeingman said:You epitomize the problem with ALPA today. To many elitists like yourself, who are completely out of touch with what is occuring to the regualr line pilots.
Rhetoric is only a term used for people who do not like to hear the truth. Like you for example. As far as emotion, the entire union could use a good healthy dose of it right now. Or are you content to see the continual degradation and decimation of contracts across the board as ALPA continues on this same path and modus operandi?
Keep puffing there Rez.
