Here's a novel suggestion. Dump APA and let that be the end of it. Save your dues percentage and put it in your own pocket. Seriously, what has the union really done that's so great here in the past 10 years? This idea really should have some traction and it's unbelievable to me that no one has suggested it in the past.
The fact that AMR doesn’t look like British Airways now is a victory. Do you even think the company would want 10000 different labor contracts scattered over 7 or 10 states? |

Serious question. Are you high, right now?

I would hope that Alta Mesa Resources (AMR) doesn’t look like British airways.

Time to take a serious look at ALPA.
I know there are many with past grudges, and I get that, but a lot have time has past since then. Without a serious change of direction, how do we change the “group think” in Dallas and bring our pilot group together? Maybe a new name on the door and a big structural change may help us move forward finally? I guarantee if we don’t make a large shift in action and thought we will continue to watch our careers from the trailing position. How long has it has it been since we had a leading contact or agreement? How long do we want to wait and how much will that cost us? Next, who have been the winners in the last decade? Their representation? |

"My advise [sic] is to use your skills or learn a new skill to provide for your family because no one will care for your family like you. please re-direct [sic] your efforts in controlling your future and use your time sending Sound offs [sic] to figuring out options for yourself. Finally I will be honest with you so you have information that will aide [sic] you in your decisions. I have no desire to cut my pay or support any concessions to mitigate furloughs" Our current representation doesn't even know what a homonym is....I think I learned these words in second grade which is downright embarrassing in its own right, but talking this way to someone who is struggling to support a family is downright disgusting and shameful. CA Tim Doreen Jr for ya, DCA vice chair. Add that to the "we don't care about our furloughed and ZTL pilots and are done pretending like we do" list. Not wanting to take concessions as a line pilot is a completely valid stance, even if it's not one that I personally agree with. The culture of this place is absolute garbage and I want to be a solution rather than a problem. But as an elected union official , you have a fiduciary responsibility to represent a group of pilots and not act on your own whims and wants. He should just look at the survey sent out to get a feel for where the pilot group is at. Wait.... Cherry on top of the sundae is that Timmy is using APA lawyers (paid for by you) to go after these pilots who have posted screenshots of his email onto social media.... We need ALPA but we also need these guys far away from any position of power. |
