You mean just accept the individual 5yr contracts the company presents you.....like JB used to do before they joined ALPA? If you just dump the union, who negotiates, enforces the contract? Who prevents the company from just outsourcing what they want without any impediment?

So you’re saying have no union? There’s a lot of good reasons why it has no traction.

Where to even start with this post. I'm assuming it's just troll bait. On the off chance you truly believe what you posted take a look at what is happening globally with airline pilots who don't have union representation.

What you're missing here is that Thkooj is incredibly unintelligent. It's almost sad, like we should be nice to him as a charity (almost).

Seriously, look at his post history.

He lives in his own fantasy land.
Ask him about his “military” background.

I've been ALPA and Teamsters. Teamsters? Interesting proposition? I guess it depends on what kind of Interesting you're looking for Lol. Nothing at Teamsters is worth giving up ALPA national resources for, imo. From friends at Atlas there might be a push for them going back to alpa sooner than later.

There is no good reason why it shouldn't.
After the APA’s treatment of ALPA members, there is no good reason it should.

Sorry you are having issues with APA.

Choose your rate, choose your fate.

Serious question. Are you high, right now?

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?

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