His initial were...Pete Martin, a non-ALPA member (prior to agency shop) and one of the founders of the PPA as well. :rolleyes:
No. That's "aviators", but I like the way you think (same number of letters). Is Pete the guy who wore a tie tack with his testosterone level number on it? |

Not sure but I don't think ALPA negotiated LCA pay if that is what you're insinuating... at least I can't find it in the PWA compensation section.
I think it would be appropriate to ask if they are getting their ALPA negotiated override while advocating violating the contract and being involved in anti-Union activities :rolleyes: |

I heard it is the 717 Fleet Captain that's hard over on the LCA's, and telling the NEW HIRES not to wear a lanyard.
As for the new hires, if he is, in fact, telling them not to wear the lanyard, maybe he is doing so out of caution for their probabtionary status. |
The LCA override sucks. The regionals paid a better percentage 20 years ago.

I know the ones I fly with are not like that at all, they know they aren't management because they know they aren't being paid in stock options. Ever since they lost their $3 Million DB retirement plan, and a boat load of money every year in ongoing pay cuts, there aren't too many kool aid kids left on the 777. There is this ONE guy though...:eek: Scambo can verify. :D Just wondering: R. B.? :cool: |

The 'one guy' in ATL I was thinking of is the same one who prohibits the use of Vertical Speed, ever, likes to get all preachy in the cockpit, not about religion but about his techniques, and takes himself waaayyy too seriously. :rolleyes: |

The fleet captain owns the sim instructors, the LCAs work for the Chief Line Check Pilot...two completely separate chains of command. So the fleet captain is not telling the LCPs anything with regard to the lanyard.

That is more of the driver, IMO, of any lack of lanyard wearing. We often look at the 777As as having it made. But, those guys are all dead zoners. They dont care what you wear around your neck. |
