Re Re-read my post...........I said it ALPA national
will normally provide legal assistance between an NON ALPA carrier and an ALPA one........... but with the TWA-AAL it did not because of the following.............
I was told that ALPA did not have a legal leg to Stand on during the merger.
Because the TWA MEC agreed to Vois the Merger/ Successorship clause in the TWA Pilot contract as part of the Merger deal. I was told that voiding that section was a AAL demand before the Merger deal would proceed..........
This is why the TWA pilots were unfortunately stapled to the bottom.
I do not know this to be fact. This is what was told to me by an ALPA attorney.
If you were former TWA.......Please confirm this one way or another? Is that True or Not?
