I don't know (and I don't care really) what the "VP" letter contains. It's no secret to the Company because they already know (and have access to the APA info behind the scenes anyway) so YOUR cards have been PLAYED.
I love this Company, I love my job and I'm doing it as long as they'll have me. After ALPA, USAPA and AOL.....with "pilot" friends like that what good is unity.
Have a great career. I know I am!!!

I'm all for a switch back to ALPA. Always have been, always will be.
Management's biggest wet dream is to sit across the negotiating table from a small independent association with very little political pull. Hence the reason why AA pilots have historically never gotten a real industry leading contract. Read Confessions of a union buster...it's all spelled out in that book.
For that reason alone, I'm a huge ALPA fan.

Do you think APA and the AA pilots didn't go through changes?
BK tends to do that.
How much of the contract, ignoring the BK impact, was because the union was dealing with two mgt teams? It's hard to negotiate one path with one mgt group and another way with a second mgt group.

The only political pull that will ever change this hopelessly broken, corrupt and incestuous game is the actual ability to engage in self-help. That no longer exists (except also as another myth on paper) and so regardless of who is playing the same game, the outcome is certain.

If either side of the LUS equation feels the LAA pilots got too good of a deal (something at or very close to the AAPSIC's proposal), both will hate the LAA pilots while STILL at war with each other as regardless of that, one side at LUS is going to get the shaft (Nic/no Nic). TWA will have a chip on their shoulder to they all go horizontal and our leadership is a directing a rudderless ship shouting from the shore. The biggest detriment of all is the abject apathy most of the pilots demonstrate.

"However, in 1993 the same year Confessions of a Union Buster was released, and 6 years after Martin J Levitt called the AFL-CIO professed his change, his cycle of deceptive psycho pathology had not. The Superior Court of the State of California County of Contra Costa filed against Martin Jay Levitt for violation of Penal Code Section 529 False Personation and Penal Code 532 (a) for obtaining credit by false pretenses for taking over $25,000."

He could rob a bank as far as I care. Big deal. Doesn't change the fact that he bared the soul of the dark side and that's all the info I need. Management's biggest enemy is a united pilot front - it's been proven over and over again. They laugh their a$$ off in front of associations like APA and USAPA.
