Let's talk about Midwest airlines again.

If we don't wake-up, ALPA national will lead our profession off a similiar cliff! We need to make sure...


--- All contracts have strong scope language.

--- Major airlines need to fly all equipment over 50 seats.

--- We have to stop the whip-sawing of one pilot group against another.

--- We need to push for different levels of ATP licenses (eg. 10,000 hrs flight time to Captain aircraft with over 99 seats, 15,000 hrs to Captain aircraft over 300 seats...) This could equal a national seniority list.

--- ALPA needs canned language in scope, duty reg, vacation, 401k, ... that is required at all ALPA carrriers. No more whip-sawing on life style.


ALPA National needs to lead this profession to a secure future.
