Ed bashes ALPA during Town Hall
Ed starts town hall by complaining about doing union president work on his vacation. He then takes multiple shots at ALPA for the next 60mins. I guess the fact that Dal, Alaska, JetBlue, Spirit and Hawaiian all have new contracts didn’t seem to cross his mind. Congratulations to us and Ed for we are now the worst paid pilots in the industry(by a landslide). That includes our wholly owns. Complete display of tone death.

Yes, the Delta deal has raised the bar. But ALPA certainly didn’t impress anyone with those other contracts that they less-than-skillfully negotiated,…. and signed-off on.
Don’t get me wrong. I’m not impressed with APA. But ALPA hasn’t wowed me either, lately.

Motivated, unified, involved pilots set the goals for the MEC, which then directs negotiations. Negotiations good or bad, reflect on the MEC, reps, and ultimately membership.
