What our pilots need to understand is that the Colgan ALPA Organizing Committee and Pinnacle MEC both want to work together with one another when our seniority lists are merged. Colgan voting in ALPA is in the best interest of our pilots as well as the Pinnacle pilot group. We can stand together against management collectively as opposed to isolating ourselves by voting in Teamsters. If anything voting in Teamsters will leave Pinnacle and ALPA feeling alienated and THEN they might attempt to staple us.
