OK, so if I vote in alpa, how would the ASA & SKW negotiations be conducted? As a single pilot group vs. management? Or in a three-way round-table?
Also perhaps more importantly...I like SKW because of LOCATION, LOCATION, LOCATION. I can promise you that I would never, ever bid anything east of denver, for any amount of money, and a lot of guys here share my attitude. So with that being said, how would the seniority integration work?
I would need absolute assurance of an equitable list merger plan. DOH is not an option, It would have to be one-for-one thing kind of thing with some sort of fences. My personal life cannot deal with relocation to ATL.
Without ironclad assurances as to my domicile (and upgrade in that domicile) ALPA = DIVORCE!
So what is the plan on that, and how will it be assured?
It should be DOH plus fences. That's industry standard when two equals are merged.
Someone said they fear getting dislaced in 3 or so years when the fences come down. I don't see that happening. Just like most of you would never bid east of Denver, most of us will never bid west of Atlanta. You'll see a few west coast people and Atlanta-haters cross, but I'd bet that's capped at 20%. Most of the really senior pilots are ATL based and Southern bred. And we 'aint goin' west, young man! Y'all have nothing to fear.
