That idea would have never made it past the drawing board. 4am wake-up, 8pm Canarsie VOR in low vis. All in the same day.

The trans-con-turn issue is long history and has nothing to do with management/union issues. Local FAA screwed than one up by allowing us to test this without ‘Big FAA’ approval. It did not make sense for 30/7 reasons either.

Instead of wasting time on old topics why don’t you invest your time at APA, maybe you can convince them to grow a backbone and finally stop their tracking exercises and
go ahead with a strike.

There you have a once powerful Union turning into a Chicken as soon as management
said ‘Boo’ (or Chapter 11). Twothousandninehunderdandeighty members less you guys
still don’t see the light. I’d rather have no union than something useless like APA or ALPA.
