We...Me....Us. (15 west pilots that are getting furloughed) started those grievances. USAPA is by law the bargaining agent...they have to file those grievances or they would be in breach of further DFR wrongs.

So please...continue to call it like it is (east pilots are trash)...it's not them that started these grievances..it was the doing of the west pilots that are to be affected.
So you mean to tell us that, the company was violating the west contract, you told your union (which you are probably not a member) about this violation. And then, they followed up, verified the infraction, and filed a grievance on your behalf?

Those Bastages

If you think a DFR is the only reason one pilot would help another against management, there is nothing I can say.

Pay close attention - it's your future as well.

Possible, but doubtful.

Well shoot, if an airline CEO said it, it's gotta be true. Unreal.

You know you're fighting a desperate, ill-begotten cause when your pilot is group is citing the CEO's verbal diarrhea to back up its illegitimate claims.

A pilot group quoting a CEO to further its cause is tantamount to selling sex acts to other men for arena football tickets.

How do you live with yourselves?

What team and kind of seats are you talking about?

As far as CEO's go, Delta bought their CEO an airplane at one time.

Maybe, maybe not. While there will be guys who will no doubt be upset (SLI, merger itself) we hopefully will be nowhere near the discontent over at LCC right now. We've negotiated the contract and will have the SLI done before the merger. One union. One airline. That is nothing like what LCC and AW pilot groups are facing.

You learned from the LCC situation, then acted. It is called Monday morning quarterbacking.

I think you're the only person on this forum who would consider me in any way an ALPA apologist, supporter, or sympathizer.

However, I detest USAPA even more. Seems like a a bunch of whiners and cheaters, really.

Look at the history of your posts, you are the quintessential whiner and like to give your opinion on matters that do not concern you without the benefit of knowledge on most subjects.

Good day sir.

It's called evolution not Monday morning quarterbacking. If we don't learn from others than how do we progress forward.

Monday morning quarterbacking is just calling out what someone did wrong and then saying what you would have done right. It's a lot different than when you act on your opinion.
