Kind of funny when we blame a pilot for working at colgan for slave wages under a turrrible contract when others are making what $3 more an hour and working under an almost equally crappy contract. I think OJ and chucky and the rest should probably receive the majority of the finger pointing.
oh by the way... all of this took place under the watchful eye of the mighty ALPA. greattttttt representation as always.
oh and mr airline union representative guy please spare us all the it would be so much worse without us rhetoric.
Blame ALPA for how bad an air carrier is?
IIRC ALPA was only recently brought in at COLGAN.
ALPA is not some sort of pie in the sky. ALPA is only good as the membership. Blaming ALPA is not only easy, its counterproductive. It would be like saying America is a crappy country because of the actions of our elected officials.
Work harder and try again later. You have exceeded your predetermined fail level.
