Thanks for the kind words though.

Haha, you're a good BS sniffer! We were hoping it was only a Baby Ruth coming out of ALPA HQ but no, it's a full blown turd.

Hate to bust your bubble, but anyone (union) can call aeromedical, if you pay for it. Not part of ALPA anymore. Ask anyone from APA, etc...............

It looks more like you cross-dressed the Delaware.

Yes, it was me, George Washington, and Brian Williams.

I agree for me it wasn't so much about the money in this TA,it was all the little things as to why I voted no.How many QOL improvements can you cite in TA 1?

Hawaii,
crewdawg52 is correct. Alpa aeromedical is now public to any airline group that pays in. It is not exclusive to ALPA.

Where did I mention concessions? I said I was willing to monetize a portion of profit sharing for the right price or keep status quo and collect my profit sharing as is.

Since you seem so intent on inserting yourself in our discussion and making accusations how about a little background on you? I'm an LA ER guy.

I agree but lets first set our pay raises and wrap this TA2 or TA3 up. After the storms have settled, lets monetize PS.

You have to be honest, the way the 1st TA had it you would have only made 8/.025/3/3 after monetizing PS. The pay rates were similar to C2012. Was that the right price?? For me, No Bueno.

My opinion is that we gain much more overall by having as many airline pilots as possible under the same representation than by splitting into self oriented groups like SWA or APA. It's short-sighted and reactionary.

Like you said, no question the price for monetizing profit sharing needed to be much higher than we saw.
