Default Rumor concerning former negotiating comm.

I heard a rumor that our good buddy DC got rid of the former NC because “a couple of them were negotiating directly with the company without approval.”

(Color me very, very skeptical.)

By all means, let’s post unfounded rumors right prior to Section 6 to further stir up ****** among the pilot group. The company loves this kind of thing.

I would consider closing this thread. Nothing good will come of it. Let’s strengthen our position going into negotiations not weaken it.

I didn’t invent this rumor, and it’s already spread all over the place...

What’s the harm in discussing it??

I get the notion that it’s an attempt at damage control to the strong reactions against replacing the entire NC so close to negotiations.....

People who talk about the lack of unity and such..... There ain’t much I can think of to become less unified than what I’ve seen from our union leaders the last couple of years.....

The hijinks with 20k spousal travel expenses.... Hijinks with the chaplain thing, donations to “needy” HS football programs, all the reps who have resigned-if they don’t drink DC’s bathwater??

-Yeah, we really have a lot of unity to mess up.

PeeWee level football. Not H.S.

Cancelling donations to Wounded Warrior(Snowball Express?) and giving them to a secretary’s kid’s charity instead.

If DC can get our group 2 CAs up to 500+k and some of our Group 4 CAs pushing 7 figures like Delta then I could care less how many pee wee football teams we sponsor or where his wife travels. We need to focus on results instead of the petty politics. My $.02

There is a 20,000 page thread on the Delta forum with over 196,000 posts. Over here it’s a ghost town in comparison. I wonder why? I’m guessing it’s not because people are mortified that APA hired a chaplain or expensed some dubious travel. We need to get our proverbial sh$t together and achieve some results.

Because we have a private MB and they don’t. Instead they use APC.

How 'bout we not make it about money for once in the 55 year history of APA and actually fix these horrible work rules?

Clearly work rules need to change. But when our IMAX experts are making 40-50% less than the green slippers at DAL we have a serious problem. We need work rules that drive increased earnings as well. Time to throw IMAX in the trash.
