Headquarters in DFW area is bad. The shear number of former APA officials now working on the companies behalf is not good. I’d gladly pay higher dues to get the jerks out. DC is a bully. He hasn’t flown the narrow bodies since the 1980’s. EF I think is on reserve A320 PHX. To each his own but I want to stir it up a bit.

When we have LGA super pilot AW talking on CnR about how the increase in dues (1.5%to 1.95%) makes it not worth it to join ALPA i’m not holding my breath. I appreciate that you can see the big picture. The dues argument is the dumbest thing that has ever come out of anyone’s mouth. .45% is roughly $900 for me more. At DL/UAL I’d be making 15-20k more per year.
This type of thinking by the ancestral inbreeds at APA is why they are the laughing stock of the industry.

I see you clearly ignored every other aspect of my reply to advance some odd agenda you have? Vote however. As you should. Just find it odd as someone so close to the bottom you would support Carey. Live and learn however. Hamels comments alone on scope would worry me being so close to the bottom alone with the facts we’ve shrunk fleet count and lowered head count since the merger.

I never said I know it all. You EF guys are the ones acting like you have all the answers. I am glad you are voting, the participation rate at this company in voting is way worse than it was at my previous 121 ACMI carrier. Based on your argument you should be listening to the BOD members because they have way more union and 121 time than you do so why dont you listen to them more?

Just vote and quit acting like you have all the answers (Groupthink). This isn't CnR.

Also if APA joined, ALPA would lower their dues because of the huge gain in membership. Maybe even down to 1.5%.

I’m sure when you’re pulling my gear it’ll be a different person to fly with. I’ll leave it there as I’ve received PMs on you by members. Not worth another reply to be honest. Good day and fly safe.

Weird post man. Please translate or at the very least make some sense when you post. You dont know me from Adam.

Sorry you dont like my opinion on the election. I already voted so it is too late.

I love this new buzzword “Groupthink” people are using. I’ve been hearing it used more often lately then ever. I find it funny when a contrasting opinion just says “groupthink” to try and insult a group of people who differ with their opinion, yet they probably have a group of people thinking the same way they are....thus they are in a groupthink too. It completely contradicting and assuming a person who differs with your point of view is not educated or justified in their decision.

I don’t give a crap who you vote for, just vote, but don’t attribute whom someone voted for to groupthink. Many people vote the same way on a decision for different reason, doesn’t make it a cult view. In some cases where they are the majority, especially in election, they win. Sorry but that’s how it goes.

You are on property how long now? How old are you? Relative seniority?

I’m a 737 Capt. and EF was removed from the negotiating committee because of political back stabbing.

100% BOD false.

I know for a fact that not all on the BOD endorse DC. 1 example, PHL is for Eric Ferguson. EF wasn’t kicked off the Negotiating Committee, DC pulled one of his backstabbing political moves to get him off the committee. DC couldn’t hold Ferguson’s flight bag.
