First, by my math ALPA collects enough each month from the F9 pilots alone to afford several RV’s. So while, yes, dues from the ALPA pot pay for things like that please don’t insinuate we are freeloading on the backs of United and Delta.

I’m not talking financial support anyway. How many United or Delta MEC members have picketed on our behalf? Why hasnt ALPA directed the other MEC’s to write letters to the NMB expressing their disdain for how F9 management has handled the process to date and lobby to bring us “into the pattern” before they themselves enter into negotiations? In fact, I think Munoz and Kirby should be lobbying for us too. The longer the NMB lets Indigo get a labor discount the longer United is at a competitive disadvantage.

Excardog is spot on...Indigo/F9 is writing the book that Kirby/United will play by. It’s also in your best interest that we finish this up sooner than later. We all appreciate the “support” (akin to thoughts and prayers) but I’m looking for ALPA to finally put some teeth into this fight.
