Well, there you have it. Alfaromeo clearly not on board with a 50% pay increase. Therefore Alfaromeo clearly not on board with being paid at least as much as SWA. (Alfaromeo, BTW, is highly involved in ALPA work.) Sadly, to varying degrees, this appears to be the thinking of many in our MEC. I know my LEC Chairman sees it the way Alfa does. Sounds like the MSP LEC Chairman does too. If you pin them down, I'll bet you'll smoke out a whole bunch more reps who think this.

Folks, we better all start asking a lot of questions and get a handle on this before we end up with another substandard TA and many more years of concessionary wages. And make sure you get specific answers. Some of these guys are real politicians and slicker than owl snot. Kinda like this guy...
