We're out bustin' our humps sellin' the pilot group on the advantages of ALPA and how if we join together with the pinnacle ALPA we'll all be protected from a potential whipsaw and what does pinnacle ALPA do? Start a f'n whipsaw! How do you expect Colgan guys to vote in a group to represent them that is attacking them?
Don't you think it would make MUCH more sense to give Colgan the chance to organize. Then if we didn't vote in the union, then you can file suit? Instead, you're gonna alienate the Colgan pilot group, cause them to vote against ALPA, and then have PT smiling his way to the bank with a perfect whipsaw in place as one group fights against the other.
This is just the dumbest, most ill-timed B F'n S I've ever seen!
They are suing because their contract supposedly states they will fly all new aircraft. I'd imagine if Colgan pilots were to join forces with PCL through ALPA, any such lawsuit would be dropped. Any such lawsuit is an attack at PCL management, not Colgan pilots. But, that's just the way I read it.
