And is it National who elects to send a TA to MEMRAT? Nope.



Wow. So International CAN'T intervene, & as a result the profession suffers. Well that's fantastic representation. And a heck of a way to improve the profession. Seven PLUS years past the amendable date for RAH!!!



Kalitta has been in Sec 6 for over 3 years. Their pay is abysmal. 19 years to get to $173 as a 747 CA! And GoJet. Their pay AND work rules are terrible. Not one, but both. 50% DH pay. No trip rigs. No duty rigs. No cancellation pay. No min day guarantee. Along with some of the lowest CRJ700 pay in the industry. So I guess that still makes my "ALPA heroes" better then IBT.

And I'm well aware of the definition of scab. Although you're painting with a very broad brush when it comes to your accusations that all ALPA members are calling GoJet pilots scabs. To be true, you'd need to have proof. Which you certainly don't. You might want to retract that statement, because it's making you look very bad.



For the duration that I've been employed the opportunity has never come about at my airline. But to display the UNITY of ALPA, I did walk the picket line to show my support for Spirit pilots.
