767,

I agree with the spirit of your posting. But I DID VOTE to recall my local rep because of his position on the merger and yes he was recalled. I DID pay my dues to ALPA National who was our bargaining agent and who in a telephone conversation from Duane Woerth to our reps, said the show's over take what they give you without recourse and then hung up on them. I DID pay $2000 dollars towards legal counsel for litigation. Finally, I am not a member of the APA who architected our seniority integration. And "No" our local union never signed the seniority integration with the APA. I'm not sure what else I could have done short of buying an uzi. Any suggestions for our pilot group ?

Again, I agree with the spirit of your post, but to blame 2400 pilots for losing all their seniority plus two months after the merger date is only telling a tenth of the story.

With respect,

FF
