Sorry to disappoint you, Carl. For the record, I was given nothing. I've been reading about this article for the past day or so and finally decided to read it myself.
What I posted was my own take on what I read. The fact that it disagrees with what you or someone else perceives makes it neither wrong nor right -- simply different.

For those who don't already know, the attorney in question is Lee Seham. Lee is a very tough attorney who has beaten ALPA in court many times, and has referred to ALPA national as a wife beater and ALPA members as being the battered spouses.
So you can see that a lover of all things ALPA like alfaromeo would throw this kind of emotional tantrum. Carry on Alfa.

We should not squander this opportunity. The time for us to improve unity, fragmentation, successorship, work rules, and pay is while times are good. While a focus on pay is critical, it is not more critical than addressing schedules that leave us exhausted and the half of our profession who work their jobs with the constant uncertainty that their express carrier is going to be creatively restructured which will result in the loss of their longevity. ALPA is relevant and we have work to do.

Prognosticate away, give us the deets. I think everyone could stand something positive to argue about for awhile.

If you would ever lower those Pom Poms Johnson, you'd know that index was a distinguished servant in DALPA.

No one at ALPA is a servant Carl, and I doubt he has ever volunteered for ALPA. If he has, then by making that statement he is being disingenuous at best.

I wasn't advocating that in the least. And I do not apologize for my compensation. But your "mathematical statement of fact" certainly appeared to me to be saying that the other employees have gotten back to where they were before the BK, and that reaching that level is not as important to them nor as meaningful to them as reaching it is to us. And what I read was EXACTLY flaunting it in their face.
Secondly, if I read that in your post, I can guarantee you that someone else did. If you don't agree, that's your prerogative. I'll bet there are some that do.

No it's not. My "advice" on that has nothing to do with being represented by ALPA or not represented by ALPA. It is simply advice, based on my experience and observations, designed to keep a new hire out of trouble in the first place.
I've seen first hand how management takes a dim view of anyone who is critical of ALPA. Openly supporting DPA is obviously critical of ALPA. I simply don't think that's something that would be smart for a probationary pilot to do at this company. I'm not surprised that some here would try to spin it in an effort to play "gotcha."
