Both ALPA and TEAMSTERS have identity issues for all concerned, these are entities that are only interested in DUES PAYMENTS and then taking care of matters, on their terms ........................... Just look at the pressing issues of the day ..................... SCHEDULING, BROKE AIRPLANES, VICIOUS MANAGEMENT, UNREALISTIC DEMANDS placed on flight crews every day.
Everybody talks a good talk, but the walk ain't there, my friends.
You can hold up your Picket Signs all day long, get folks fired up like the old Football Game days, talk, talk, talk ........................... but absent the course of the real deal, and that is WITHOLDING SERVICES TO GET WHAT YOU NEED, it will be a very long and tiring experience for all of us.
These UNION LEADERS, need a good dose of "kick in the ass" and throw them off their high perches, for NOT Championing the causes of the working people who have elected them. So, think all of this over and let your Union leaders know that you are NOT SATISIFIED, when the job calls for appropriate measures. Yea, there may be those out there that are "scared" of losing their jobs but you listen to this ................................... You will not get anywhere in this Life and especially in this environment, if you appear to be WEAK, TIMID and/or easily SWAYED ......................................... You all know the issues at hand, I don't need to expound on this any further ........................ Good Day.
