I still hold out hope the new blood coming in will eventually help straighten this out one day.



What'd that idiot TW do?

Be VERY careful with that question!

But I'm not floating!

I'm with Surprise, and also not floating.

TW the rogue DFW rep shows everything that is wrong with APA's structure.

The BOD should be BEHIND the President not trying to step on top of his unifying, leverage creating no-float campaign.

You don't see this level of dysfunction and lack of unity from the UAL and DAL MECs.

We need ALPA now.

Yep. Gotta say I was not surprised by his actions.

I'll No-Float myself as a show of unity, which is really what this is about. It's about time that we show some cohesiveness.

Just when you think APA can't get any worse... And we wonder why we have such a sub standard contract!

As someone above wrote.. We are so gonna get our a$$es handed to us in 2020.... again.

Some of the membership is already up in arms about not being able to float. We can't even comply in unity with ONE SIMPLE darn request from our president.... How in the heck are we going to unify with much more important issues??

Good Grief! If our president asks a request of us... DO IT and show some unity! Management must be hoarse from all the laughter going on at Center Port.

I'd be willing to bet UAL and DAL pilots don't even have the option of floating their vacations.... Gee what a concept!

aa73 and A321, is APA getting worse or is it just a few (in power) that make life miserable for everybody else? Would this NOT be possible under ALPA?

I don't understand TW's goal, what is he trying to accomplish? The destruction of APA? Or is he just plain dumb and wants to act important? I don't get his agenda, he has done a lot of harm to this pilot group.

Love the unity guys. Keep it up!

Westbrook is all about Westbook..... I'm amazed he can stand himself.
