It is eyewatering how the value and justification of union 'work' flows with the tide of power.

News flash. Alpa is a corrupt organization. Larceny is embedded in the DNA.

The line pilot problem with it is when that valuable union 'work' includes selling us down the river, and then calling us fkg stupid for raising the BS flag.

That, is just a bit too much to stomach.

Wow! That's unbelievable!

I know, but believe it. Believe that one of the puppets actually thinks these kind of diversions work.

I don't mind paying FPL for people who do good work and work on behalf of the pilots. I don't mind it one bit.

Now before, I didn't like spending my money on the Moakists. Now I'm happy with how my money is spent.

Why can't our reps just ALPA block those days instead of getting paid up to 10:30 for an hour of picketting? Call your reps and ask them if they will be on FPL (and expenses) to picket on the 24th.

1.7 Million to force a rancid piece of feces down our throat Falcon7. You are rather petty when it's not you and your buddies getting paid the members hard earned dollars to not fly the line, no? In the case of the days after the defeat of TA15, 1.7 Million would barely begin to undo the damage that was done by you and your ilk my union "brother". Keep on racing to the bottom you lil man...

FPL and Regional Director of flying seem to have a connection.... Why do the guys who don't fly the pointy end always end up with 200% bonuses??? Me, out there every weekend sweating in the oldies hoping to fund my $hitty ??% raise with the loss of sick time and PS....

Pretty sure the reps were already being paid (by the company) to attend the MEC meeting, so no extra pay was received by the LEC reps. Other committee guys? They are paid by dues mostly (some are company paid I think). But, those guys were in town for the meeting, too. So, they weren't paid any "extra" to picket.

But, that's no fun is it? False accusations are so much more exciting.
