BTW, GREAT LETTER from Lee Moak! Wonder if ALPA should start a letter writing campaign? Almost every US Airline is effected by this ... voters everywhere. We just need targeting information.
Great letter, and one that I thought was important to repost.
As I have stated the Association needs to come out with their stance and why. They are doing that.
We need to pressure our US Negotiating team to play hardball. Fact is that if they want to give four (4) slots a day to US carriers we can do that to their airline in this country. JAL will get four landing slots in the entire country each day. If our guys had the balls to do this, the whole "Open Skies" would be viewed differently. Not just a way to protect JAL.
If we fall for it as a country, we get what we deserve. It is not a union thing, but a US Policy thing. Our way of writing and agreeing to these types of deals need to take our interest in to mind as well. IMO it is correct for our Union to be for this. We should also be pressuring out team. I have written my reps, as well as the reps from a few states, to state the industry case, and what a mediocre policy would do to the US Airline industry.
