The leftovers were then jammed up their check valves.
These are uncharted waters. Management thought it was a good idea to cut loose 8Billion of our lifeboats when the seas were calm and the horizon clear. So, before we give the big finger to ALPA, let's look at the entire picture. The last 20 years have not been kind to organized labor for a number of reasons. But since this forum seems to freak out over posts with even a shred of political discourse, we're supposed to keep quiet and not pontificate on why ALPA has only one-half of the cojones they had back when Dubinsky told Wolfe to pound sand. Times and the law are much different now. Votes matter.
I feel bad for Trans States. I feel bad for Piedmont. I feel bad for my newhire buddy at Frontier. Hell, I feel bad for us ALL....scabs excluded of course.
Not at all. I think you missed my point. I don’t think we should give ALPA the middle finger. Instead, we should be demanding more from ALPA. Instead of negotiating for scraps, SENORITY AT THE RESPECTIVE MAINLINE is the order of the day. When we come out the other side of this latest bullish,t debacle, it’s gonna be a feeding frenzy for pilots. Add in the 73 max rts,buyouts of the top senority guys, scheduled retirements, ramp up for back to normal flight schedules. There’s no better time than now. It’s a historic opportunity to right a severe wrong perpetrated on the pilot profession. We’re all about to see real “American Horsepower” in action on this Chinese made pain in the a$$. Not gonna last as long as you all may think.
no more C Scale. Period.
