So if the ALPA Prez pay were a Million a year would there be more candidates to choose from or less? Today, you'd have more...and it'd be for the money, not the duty.
Over 90% of the guys that have gotten hired in the last year at my regional were ALPA volunteers. They didn't advertise they were ALPA volunteers but the recruiters could tell they had an attitude of 'how can I make it better...' 'not what is in it for me...'ALPA recruiters or company HR? And I am all about helping the company out. But the minute the CEO and the members of mahogany row look after their best interests in the form of payouts...I go back to the job description.
You've proven my point... you want it better for YOU. What is in it for YOU. More rest for ME. More benefits for ME, higher pay for ME!WRONG AGAIN! I want it better for ALL pilots. You say it as if rest is a bad thing. I guess I'm just safety conscious. And yes, when bonuses are being handed out like candy at the top, you better believe I am going to have my hand out. Without our hard work, their would be no bonuses at the top.
That is not serving the profession. That is serving self. It is counter productive and destructive. Tell that to the SWA pilots. I bet if you ask nicely, one of them will walk your resume in.
Serve the profession! The problem is...every pilot, including ALPA pilots are serving themselves. Wrong! Try again.
Anyone can show up on time, perform their duty as expected. Anyone! You want to be recognized for doing what is expected of you? There is nothing progressive about that. Nothing professionial about showing up on time and doing your job... that is what hotel maids do.. not professionals...
You don't know about PATCO do you?Actually, I do. A college professor of mine was in the military as a controller and he was called in during the strike.
Question.
Is it 1936? Yes
Is this the Auto industry? Yes
Are assembly line workers professional pilots? They are labor nonetheless.
Where is the RLA? Not involved
