You know whats even more sad is the fact that almost all of the regionals are represented by the same union. What has that union done for you furloughed guys, nothing. Goes back to my point that you have been kicked to the street and forgotten. Everybody is worried about these 250 wonders coming in while there are probably thousands of experienced guys bagging groceries somewhere. Once again, thank you ALPA. Our dues should be used for more than meetings in Vegas. Yeap, I'm calling you out 9E MEC, whats that all about? LEC officer elections meeting in Vegas, on our dime? We need to have a say where our dues go. I say a majority of it should go to placing guys on the street in cockpits where they belong. We shouldn't even be having this 250 wonder convo, get guys off the streets!! Thanks for our contract ALPA, but your job isn't finished. Higney, I'm not meaning to attack you guys, if I am I'm sorry, but meeting in Vegas? Can we not get guys off the street into our cockpit, use our dues for something that helps all the pilots? I'll volunteer for a program like that. I'd be more than happy to get the ball rolling at our MEC to get furloughed guys preferential, no interview jobs. If thats reasonable than, Higney, PM me. Any furloughed guys who want to take the chance on 9E, PM me. For whatever its worth, I'll walk your resumes in to our managers. Just flew a trip and jumpseated on Comair, 7 year FO about to be on the street... sick.
