Hint: No strike... I just can't understand how we can ever truly claim any kind of victory under these conditions. If Prater weren't so gutless, maybe this would change... but I'm not holding my breath. BTW.. I think secretaries at alpa national make more than you do....
No need to think it. Unless acl has a couple of side jobs, and he's on here waay to much for me to think he is doing any green slip flying, the ALPA secretaries make big bucks. (Uness they took a paycut, which I doubt).
What's funny about it is that, the way I remember it, a month or so after we (and I use that word loosely) at NWA voted in that crappy contract, the ALPA secretaries went on strike for more money. The result? They come out making more money than our DC-9 captains.
No guts, no glory, and for damn sure no payraise.
