Here is a spin. I am all for a CBA because we need many things fixed. Most importantly a better sect 15. However, in the top 50 percent, there are many pilots here making 2, 3, or close to $400,000. So the DR is working for them. I seriously don't believe they want ALPA. However, ALPA will prob do well for the pilots at the top just like they have at UAL. ALPA national worked with the senior people at UAL and cut a deal. They furloughed... ALPA national is a business. U can not argue that. They want and need dues more than ever. They r about to loose AirTran if they haven't already. So in my opinion, ALPa national should be here trying to sell themselves to us if we send enough cards in. I have been at two ALPA carriers, so I will need some convincing from national I must say. Nothing anyone says on this forum is going to convince me the only option we have is big ALPA national management.
All that being said, I do believe we need a CBA, and I could care less if having one ****es off a senior captain making 400,000 dollars a year..
