I may not be at Colgan anymore, buy I truly want what's best for the pilots there. Hopefully ALPA will be able to deliver that good.
Thanks! I am sensible enough for a discussion and not the senseless squabbling that goes on around here, on occasion.
Actually, I'm with you on the 'no one bidding the Q' back when we were first taking delivery. That was our first opportunity for us to show unity regarding the pay issue. Unfortunately, that didn't happen. Now, we're gonna have to get the improvements w/ a contract. Which, in my opinion, is fine.....'cause we're in dire need of some legally-binding work rules. No more changing policy on a whim or reaction. We need a voice and I think ALPA will provide that for us. BUT, BUT.....our ALPA will only be as strong as our pilot group makes it. We need good/ strong leadership from within and we will see positive results.
