Shiznit,

I must have struck a nerve with you. *I usually do with he Fundamentalist ALPA sect. *

It is a fact that ALPA representing both sides of the Scope issue is a conflict of interest.*
It is a fact that in the *80's $1 out of $5 in dues came back to operate ALPA at *UAL. * This was back in the *day when all of these airlines were in ALPA

UAL
CAL
PAA
DAL
EAL*
NWA
ATA*
USAIR
America West
Frontier
Alaska
Etc...Etc....

Today it is
*UAL/CAL
DAL
FedEx

Alaska
Spirit
Sun Country

And a whole laundry list of express carriers which you can go look up yourself.*


"Really? Where have you been hiding? Did you miss the 2001-2011 time period completely? Did you miss the 1998-2000 time period before that where the mainline ALPA pilot made huge gains? "

Where have you been hiding for the last 10 years since the Shiznit hit the fan? Duane Woerth admitted that he wrote off UAL during Chapter 11. It is a fact that that many of my "brothers" were actively lobbying for the end of UAL so that life would be improved for everyone else. Try to count how many pilot jobs disappeared at the mainline and are now at express. The RJ issue actually started in the 90's


Here is another fact you can spend the day verifying. The United pilot strike in 85' ended at 29 days because ALPA National could not afford to financially support the group on strike. On day 30 ALPA would have had to start writing checks and collecting assessments and they couldn't afford to do that. So UAL was on it's own in1985 and is still today.
