As far as a national pilot contract under ALPA, that wouldn't be a bad idea, and you might be on to something Mason....unfortunately, i don't know how far up the ALPA chain-of-command something like that would make it....But we'd never know until we try, might wanna talk to the local MEC's to get a ball moving on something like that.
I'm meeting with our LEC and MEC chairman in a few days. Rest assured these issues will be among the things I bring up.
I'm sick of hearing things like... "we're taking it back," and "one union, one voice." I want to see some action to support those words.
Prater should be interjecting in this situation. We have one ALPA pilot group, walking over another ALPA pilot group... and both MEC's are doing nothing about it. Are we one union, or not? ALPA national needs to get involved now if the MEC's aren't going to work together.
Recall elections are always a possibility.
