Instead "well, you don't know what you're talking about because you're just a pilot and if we know anything as a pilot's union is that pilots don't know anything. So status quo and don't question our lawyers."
Funny, there is always 2 lawyers in a case, one for and against the same thing so you can't question any lawyer?
But Skywest there is your green light, go for it. We'll pay for your Airbuses. ALPA won't grieve it if you consider voting them in too.
Maybe the Teamsters would like 12,000 mainline pilots? I'm all for anything at this point. Imagine if the 2000+ pilots who signed those DPA cards, probably few signing them because they're in love with the DPA, invited another established union? Could we finally get ALPA to do it's job correctly which includes not pushing back against the pilots?
Frankly, I do not beleive anyone said they are not going to 1) Look at the ruling and its implications and 2) Fight it if there is a change in status as it pertains to our PWA.
Everyone is over at an IFALPA meeting this week and is not around. Call your reps, e-mail em, tell em what you see, read, think. Try to include a copy of the ruling. It does help.
