Instead we are ok with LOS and complete capitulation on our QOL issues, WHY? Explain to me again why taking one step forward and two steps back is ok??

I have volunteered over and over again in this union and as a third lister have repeatedly been ignored. I can not stand by and watch this surrender now to fight later mentality dominate my career. This has to stop!
Why not just run for office?

They can’t ignore you if you get elected. Any 3rd lister will definitely have my vote!

Really, you should.

Maybe this roaring dumpster fire of a union would sack up and act straight if a couple of good guys started sniping and stole a couple of positions from the usual suspects.

It only takes a handful of real idiots to ruin a union. Currently, we have a double handful of absolute ****tards

You’d have a lot of votes just being from 3rd lister demographic.

The more I have thought about this AIP, the more angry it makes me.

APA just needs to be torn down and rebuilt. We seriously need to decertify these *******s and make sure no one in leadership now ever gets to serve again.

I mean for God’s sake!!!!! How does any union at any airline in this economic environment come away with concessions?

Decertify. Now!

There is young blood in the union. Common sense will prevail in time.

You guys are all talk. Third listers I fly with, I encourage them to step forward to serve. They're too busy with their lives. They believe they are wasting there time and see no reason to pound their heads against the wall for nothing. I'm not saying this to be mean...I ask them all. The return vs. the "reward" isn't worth it. Secondly, as long as you have domicile voting as opposed to seniority block voting, you'll NEVER accomplish the goals you seek to effectuate. Unions are becoming a thing of the past.
