Thanks for the recent repost...loved it then, love it now!

just a joke...

"The TA is struck down... but since it was found to be cost negative for the pilots it is now considered dues and passes."

Can we close all those TA threads now?
 

There's bound to be another 13 that will pop up after the vote comes out.

Ok, I'm up......I'M UP (west coast time)

I guess 12,000 guys trying to long into the ALPA site at once is a little overwhelming?

Tic Tock........where are the results? We aren't waiting for the Florida precincts are we:D

Call for Mr Chad, Mr Chad......Mr Hanging Chad:eek:

Buzz,
I respect your vote, well thought out. I came to a different conclusion and was a no vote. I do agree with you on our management team. I WILL BE BEHIND the results, NO MATTER THE OUTCOME. Unity. If the majority of this pilot group passes this, than I will respect that and be a semi happy camper as well.

So...this management team some of you are professing to love and trust...is it the same one that persuaded you all to write in to your senators to get the DCA-LGA slot swap approved, then awarded that flying to union-busting, pseudo-scab GoJet in a blatant slap to your face? Or the one that you thought agreed to 130 outsourced 76-seat jets, but then went ahead and ordered 153 and dared you to grieve it? Does it include managers who have publicly said they lie awake at night wondering if they took enough from the pilots in BK?

Because if so, I'd wonder if battered wife syndrome isn't starting to set in. :(

But we are getting some used 717's!

You'll find out soon enough when you flow up.

I'll say this if this thing passes, when we merged in 08 we told the company if you want more 76 seaters then you better grow us bigger than we were when we merged and even then no more than 255 big rjs and you better find a home for those 70 seaters because it won't be here.

Today we have a TA that says instead of having to grow us larger than we were when we merged you can now have 70 more 76-seaters anyways, you can keep the 70 seaters, but you must promise not to shrink us further. But we won't stop you if you do, but as we shrink our share has to stay the same.

That is scope erosion offset either by a pay raise that even many yes voters deem insufficient or scope erosion due to a threat of GK styled retribution that is as baseless as the claim 717s have to be pure growth or flying will have to be transferred from DCI.

If passed, this is a bad precedent for TA 2015. And for the portion of yes voters who will vote yes just to protect ALPA at all costs, careful what you wish for.

Anyone else unable to get the ALPA site to load?
