Default ALPA to Midwest pilots

ALPA said goodbye to the Midwest Airlines pilots. Due to the impotency of ALPA's scope clause advice, Midwest Airline pilots are on the street.

Do not forget it was fellow ALPA Delta pilots that allowed this and stood by and watched this happen, Delta's parent company was a major part of the dismantling.

"ALPA brothers and sisters", yea, right.

As usual ALPA will give them a course on how to fill out a hopeless resume and application.

Look at the picture of the ALPA Midwest Pilot shills in the picture, they will all be given jobs with the mother ship for being cheerleaders. Intestinal fortitude is not part of ALPA training for their reps.

What?

I'd be more interested in seeing pics of all the other crews who showed up. That's a really bad picture. Looks like one guy borrowed a hat.

I have to say, I will not trust ALPA legal to write contract language in the future. All locals should have independent legal help to review all contract language... like Comair, Eagle, etc.

Overall, ALPA is a good association and has backed the Midwest pilots (I think?) to the end.

Can't say the Teamsters are anything like I remember. In the old days, the Republic EXCO would have been told to support other union brothers or resign.
