Can self-help exist when outside of negotiations, or is the grievance process our only remedy?
I want to make sure I’m clear in that I am NOT calling for any form of work action. I’m merely asking what tools are available for ALPA to combat a management team that seems to want to push every button. We saw management get too aggressive with their customers and the aggressive response from the customers was enough to have management change course. How aggressive can ALPA be within the RLA guidelines.
Just a thought of where we could go as this seems to be escalating.
Our association - DALPA - is our representation of matters to the company. The only way this works out is clear concise messaging and legal actions buttressed by a unified pilot group. My question as stated before; is DH the man to lead us through this intensifying storm or is he just another MEC chair gunning for a job on the 4th. I' guess we'll see after the special meeting this week.
