We are ALPA. If we want to change things we can. These aren't the laws of physics we're changing, it's merely bylaws and policy.

In any case, the Total Cost of Ownership must include all factors. So our substandard TA pay rates don't adequately cover ALPA costs.

Not trying to bust your bubble, ALPA Will NEVER CHANGE. THEY WILL ALWAYS GET THEIRS. Your bylaws are set.

And Trump will never get elected, says all the establishment and leftist media. The sound barrier will never be broken either.


ALPA should only get the money it needs to operate, provided they give more than barely incremental results. Remember, ALPA is only ONE court case away from losing their forced payer membership model. Wouldn't you want a higher performing organization that sells itself?

Where is your proof that it didn't happen? Because you say it didn't! Ha I laugh
The planes weren't offered to a union they were purchased by AMR, first rights were to AA for bad pay, AA said nope we are better than that. AMR said well it sucks that you don't have scope we will have American Eagle do it.
I was gracefully informed by many AA pilots during my tenure that if Eagle didn't exist that all of their furloughed pilot buddies would still have jobs.
Yes it happened. Quit lying to yourself that this management wouldn't do the same to you.

I will happily stand side by side with you to dismantle ALPA's model of forced pay to play. Let me know when it goes down. Till then we are stuck in the current establishment and it keeps getting bigger. Every carrier that brings them on means we are farther from stopping their model.

I'm a Delta guy?
I wish! I wouldn't be having this argument, would have a much better commute, a better QOL. And career advancement.
That's a standard comment from someone who has nothing to say.

You quoted sailingfun and said “Quit lying to yourself that this management wouldn't do the same to you.”

Sailingfun is a delta guy and doesn’t care what JB mgmt does to JB pilots.

I don't have a problem with ALPA winning over more airlines, provided they offer revolutionary improvements (not barely incremental, cost neutral progress like this TA). Also, we would have to have complete power to defund them if they fail to do our bidding. Right now they do things by a so called democratic process, but that isn't the best system. Pure democracies are merely mob rule, not intelligent design. I would rather vote with my funding. If they do a good job, they get my funding. We'll see how this TA goes before options for or against ALPA are explored. They are overdue for a house cleaning.
