If SNARGE really said that then he's a jacka.

Look at it this way. Were we any closer to improvements otherwise?

Somewhere in Herndon, steaks and $200 bottles of wine are being consumed in your honor.

Enjoy the 2% pay cut.

Congratulations... now the real work begins.

Your MEC will only be as successful as the people who step up to run for office and volunteer for committees. Everyday participation is the key to a strong union.

I'm just more tempered in my view of the situation. Getting pilots to vote for representation is easy, especially now in the internet age where sentiment spreads very rapidly as compared to years ago. The hard part for both sides now begins. Hopefully we elect rational leaders and not chest thumping politicians. Unfortunately it's the latter that tend to push their way to the front.

My main gripe with ALPA. The machine.

Uniforms don't do that, but I do have a problem with the cleaning the cabin. That should stop asap now that management can't fire you for any little thing.

I just hope we can get our company to start actually covering our families medical expenses, rather than just excluding and refusing everything possible. "Caring" value, indeed.
