According to the check airman Ive met recently and to the crew members I've talked to in ILN the current union leadership will be out with the elections (or sooner).

No one Ive talked to is happy over the whole situation. Some have Stockholm Syndrome others are ready to cut throats.

We can only hope. Truthfully they have hurt your membership. The problem seems to be that your membership is passive and are willing to accept what they are fed. Many years ago when I flew at Southern Air Transport the same situation existed. The senior guys were gaming the system just like your MEC seems to be. I was furloughed when the union vote was to occur. All junior guys put on the street in order to send a message by management. Sound familiar? I still wonder how JV was able to screw you guys by furloughing out of seniority. Do yourselves a favor: Decertify Alpa!

If it was me I would push really hard to switch to 1224.

K we are preaching to the choir. These guys seem to be missing a part of anatomy second only to the brain.

Let me be clear, ATI never ever furloughed out of seniority. PERIOD.

That was Capital that did that and IT was under ALPA

The two people (ex cappy MEC) responsible are no longer welcome in property and are gone.

Hey here is the deal!!! Right now the voting dynamics are changing here. In one year the voting capable membership here will change. The new hire numbers will outweigh the older group.

Funny CTR how our union guy came in and told us NO CONTRACT for atleast 2 years

Plus how we shouldn't worry about it because we CANT even vote for a YEAR!!

"DTM"

Dont worry about all that. We are getting & have been getting our numbers up to where they are now. Crew member wise we are larger than ABX. Should a merger come and we vote on unions they will be outnumbered.

Wages, we are in a battle for business right now. I like the slogan on here "ABX freight for HALF THE RATE". We need to keep it lean but its short term. I think the other guys will choke before we do.

You can all put that slogan on shirts! Wear them when you have to surrender your badge because you got furloughed.
