I believe his point is UPS pilots will continue to receive annual payraises even though their contract is amendable. A concept that ALPA apparently has no interest in persuing.

I'm seriously considering sending my union dues to the IPA. My pay is based on their pay (they always seem to negotiate their contract first, ALPA then sets that as the "bar" to negotiate towards. They are taking a leadership role here. Hmmm ... they sound like a real union to me!*?

MM,
I am with you. IPA files a law suit to appeal the FAA's decision. Where is ALPA's? Thought we were supposed to have "The Best and Brightest" legal team in aviation.....where did that get us?
An All-Cargo Union would have gotten us at least this far....?????
I would assume we are the highest contributing pilots per capita in ALPA...again, where did that get us? Got us a last sentence Press Release saying "Shucks, sorry the Cargo guys didn't get the same work rules." Off to the Champagne Party at ALPA HQ!!!
Lanyard...Nah!......Pin.....Nah! PAC $.....Nah!

I know, but, bringing to light the back-smoke filled room deals trying to be made by the "We know what "they" want more than "they" do" crowd of DW cronies is a calling for good all unto itself. These folks truly believe that you are a neanderthal who cannot be trusted to make these "all important decisions". So if I am labeled as a Henchman, present or otherwise, so be it. I was during the "candidate influencing" situation exposure in recent history......I will continue to be a voice for shining the light of day on smokey doings........so ANC folks....call Chairman Latvala and Vice Duell and tell them, WE WANT THE 3%.......cause right now they are planning on voting that down in favor of Sect 6 openers.......what do you want?

Pakagecheck, like most elected folks, they probably think they can do what they want because they have the power. They probably think they can just rally us later by the stroke of a pen, even after a betrayal of the rank and file. That is why I rarely refer to the elected few as 'leaders', because they rarely are. Take the 3%.

It seems like all you're concerned about is 3%. How about we tighten the contract language that is repeatedly interpreted to our detriment and get some unity and fix the work rules that gut our standard of living. Reading these posts all I see is 3%, 3%, 3%. So what about 3%? 3% is not our problem.
