ok, I'll bite... A few years ago I had a retired cargo pilot correct a similar statement that I made (the one in red). Management is part of the employee group, they are management and we are labor but when it boils down we are all employees for the company and in this instance we work for the stock holders (lack there of) so we work for the creditors. Management doesn't own the company, they are there to direct the company and work with labor to attain the best results but we know that it has become a huge fight over power and money.

The second thing is the NDA comment, the Eagle fleet plan doesn't have to be a secret. It's all about leverage and they use it to scare the eagle pilots and whipsaw against the other regional looking to earn more business. This whole NDA crap is a way to control the unions.

As far as the Unions, well your representatives are pilots form your own company representing the pilots. Labor unions are legally recognized as representatives of workers in many industries in the United States, in other words is a group of employees that have agreed to join together and bargain together. ALPA has national but normally national doesn't spend as much in your day to day ops as do your local reps who are pilots from your own airline. Don't forget the Union woks for you the employee and they are there to do what you want for the group as a whole. At Eagle we have an issue with the current Union leadership have found a way to isolate themselves from the labor group and are doing as they see fit and many of us are working to stop this but is not an easy process... The company is helping them, not long ago the company paid their wages to represent the pilots, you can read into that as you wish.
