I can tell y'all as an outsider looking in, with choices to make, the airing of union dirty laundry and public bickering is .... disappointing.

I bring up the fact they were reps because until you have actually walked a mile in their shoes, it is hard to know what the job really entails.
Please excuse typos and grammar as I am in a hurry.
Who are the several former North reps? Initials are fine.

I asked also. I'm not sure what former North reps are based in Atlanta

Seems like you guys get ignored when you ask for specifics.


Sounds like you are dealing with the same people who gave us TA15.

Sure glad I'm paying 1.9% for this idiocy.

This is my second major...we definitely don't have the market cornered on union politics. Lots of us newish hires have not been impressed with this schoolgirl style infighting, but realize these guys are a minority in ALPA, unfortunately they're the most visible/vocal. The majority, do great work behind the scenes and have no part in what you're seeing here. On the line, this political BS isn't even a topic of discussion.

Don't let this sway your mind on whether to come here or not. Everyone I work with has been great and upbeat. Unfortunately, there will always be those who will never be happy, as well as those who love the political game. Just remember, never trust a pilot in a suit...

Trip:


Why would a typical, non political, regular line pilot care how their rep voted for MEC Chairman?

What's going to be the main difference between Bartells and Malone for the next 2 years, and what good will recalling the ATL reps do?

At a certain point after 2013, DPA stopped reporting financial information so we don't know what other contributions were made.

Johnson has a testimonial on the DPA website supporting their organizing effort.

Johnson’s DPA # is 823251. His financial contributions and testimonial are available to anyone with DPA website access.
Sailing,

Did you vote for the reps to get recalled last year?

There may be some confusion between Reps and current Administration. I saw at least one current Committee Chairman, who was a formerly NW pilot a decade ago, voting against recall.

If I were the type, I could check his schedule and see if he was paid to come over from the ALPA offices and stick his nose in Local politics. But, that isn't my groove. He has the right to participate.

So, what good does it do you (and your friends) trying to get your list of who voted for what together? Intimidation? Retribution? Just getting some co-workers to hate on? What's the point?

I voted against recall, what's it to you?
