I don't want to ever advance at the expense of others. Many at PSA feel the same as I do. I feel for my Eagle brothers and ALPA did a horrible job of working with management to protect their jobs.
We have street captains while they have 8 year f/o's. Could Alpa have done something? I don't know. Maybe the fluid contracts are to blame. But worrying about Iceland air when we have a civil war going on here is a misdirection of priorities. IMO
You mean to say, against the dysfunctional representation that you and your colleagues voted in. You voted in the contract. Did you read it? ALPA National isn't your union. How many times do we have to say that? They are primarily advisory and significant financial backing to your local. Quit blaming everyone else because you voted in a poo contract that Eagle voted down and thought you'd do the same.
