This pilot group is really 3 or 4 groups. LAA. LUS/AWA and anybody new. Least important by far is "new".
Sounds like socialism to me.

Does APA have LECs for each domicile to represent each seniority block?

Is unionism like Marxism?

wouldn't Marxism being the state owned the airlines, pays all pilots, rampers, gate agents and Executives the same amount, and seniority would not be used for bidding?

or we could go the other way and institute things like each individual bargaining for themselves, good schedules awarded to those who are in cahoots with management. And pilots who get too expensive are the ones who get furloughed when times are tough.

it’s a safety net for those who got kicked to the curb, stop acting like it’s the end of the world

Unionism if you volunteer to do it (union membership and associated employment is voluntary).

Socialism if the government makes you do it.

You mean slightly over 50%

more than 90% of the pilots at each of those 2 airlines voted in favor of a 1% assessment to fund healthcare for furloughs.

Atooraya seems to think it is socialism/Marxism to asses .5% of AA pilots pay to fund healthcare for their furloughs.

So it sounds like Communism? What is it when the have nots beg off the teet of the haves?


All I’m saying is get another job furloughed pilots. Our economy provides a ton of new jobs for you. I worked hard for my seniority here at American and I don’t need communist ideals like ALPA to siphon off my hard earned money to pay for others. That is literally socialism.
