How would you know the pilot group is unhappy?
But that's precisely what I'm showing you! They are negotiating behind your back! And you wouldn't have known it until pilots were inserted into your seniority list OR someone else told you about it before then. Answer this for me, has anyone in management told you about these clauses that they negotiated in the XJT contract? I guess IF (big if) that actually happened, you would be unhappy but at that point it would be too late. Wouldn't it? Wouldn't you have liked a seat at that table to advocate solely on your behalf and taking only your interests into consideration?
What else is our CEO doing behind our backs?

After all the great work ALPA has done recently for Pinnacle, PSA, Eagle and XJT why would I ever vote them in? It seems like I'd be paying extra money out of my pocket for some extremely poor representation. I'd prefer not to take a paycut paying union dues just to have a concessionary contract negotiated for me and shoved down my throat with the threat of becoming 'Comair II.'
Who said anything about ALPA? Your union is always only going to be as good as your leadership, regardless of what letters you pick to name it.
By the way, that threat is coming from OUR management. Don't be so naive that you arent just an expense line item to them either.
By the way, go ahead with your personal attacks if that's all you have. I will just ignore them since they add nothing to the discussion. It's the classic ad hominem argument.
