Default ALPA Billboard at the Love’s Gas in MEM

I drove past this sign for the first time today. It was blocked by some trees so it was actually impossible to read until abeam the sign. Either way, what exactly is the point of that advertisement? Is it trying to sell the pilot group on something? Or stick it to management? I’m sad my dues were used for that either way.

You are mad about ALPA spending money on a billboard during negotiations and doing pilot unity events such as the zoo/baseball games?

Are you aware the branch in which you are so proud of (USMC) has perfected wasteful spending. Pot meet kettle…..

I have come to the conclusion you are nothing more than a troll. If you are so astute in leadership and running an organization better, then why don't you step up and run? Im sure we all know the answer to that, blowhard.

Why would you spend so much effort and time criticizing the people who are daily working to better our contract and uphold it? Im thankful I don't have to do the work and others are willing to.

I am all for billboards that say treat me professional and compensate me fairly. The time is now for the company to step up to the plate with their checkbook ready to sign a big check. Etc.


If they can do unity events at a ball field, why can't they do local council meetings? How do those optics work?

I am all for unity events as long as they spend as much time listening as they do transmitting, it would be a nice change.

The Marine Corps has the most successful billboard campaign in history. That’s a fact! However, don’t ask me to prove it. If you doubt me, do your own damn research.

So I guess we can expect another uniform change? Or am I getting my billboards crossed.
