When is the last time CAL, UAL, NWA, DAL carried a picket sign for their own airline? Get it. They were in the Midwest Airlines picket line. (right on bro, we got your back bro, sorry that happened to you bro, whoa, now you do not have a job bro. Here fill out the application for the next airline we will see what we can do.)
You have always heard that history repeats itself, get out while you can.
all,
I'm still trying to wrap my thoughts into how ALPA is the source of the East pilots problems. I guess the $100,000 question is, if the East guys had an in house union at the start of the merger process, how would things be different for them today?
