Yeah.....like it was ALPA's idea for this to happen. ALPA may not be effective, but I find it incredible how many folks blame ALPA for the greed of managements. Maybe if the members of this industry would show a little more solidarity ALPA would be more effective. ALPA is a tool and it is a poor craftsman who blames his tools.

Tell me Dicecal… why do manufacturers, globally, outsource work overseas??? You can’t honestly think it was to spend more money and cut down on their profit margins… do you?
So tell me Dicecal… If it works for manufacturers why wouldn’t businesses within transportation sector follow the same concept? To think that the board of directors have your interest at heart is quite naďve… wouldn’t you aggree?

What will be interesting is where the Captains are coming from. EI may have a few willing to go to this operation but that is taking a big chance unless they are on a leave of absence from EI to do so. And if current EI Captains take the job that sets a precedent for UAL pilots to go as well.

Are you seriously interested in an operation like this?

They want you to be airport operations within an hour. Base the benefits, or lack there of, on that statement alone. Have you ever been to Dulles? To be in ops in an hour pretty much requires you to live 15 min from the airport.

I've flown out of Dulles. Luckely we overnighted at the Marriott on the airport property. Have they completed their tram project yet? How about security... any improvement?

Me personally??? not a prayer. I’m happy that I’m not flying with any dysfunctional airline in the US. Some of my expat colleagues would like to go home and try to recapture some type of quality of life at home again. They are interested particularly in the pay and benefits side of the contract.

In all seriousness, i'm not even going to glorify the lipstick on the pig. Please inform YOUR expat friends that UAL Alpa has a grievance filed against this JV.
Need I say more?

Well, I certainly wouldn't use that description! 
No, I'm referring to the MEC that was so afraid of the bankruptcy judge that they were willing to agree to something without looking at its long term potential and that is about to really bite their buns in a big way. The IAD-MAD segment is but the first of what I feel will be more.
Forrest Gump was right.

I hope these guys don't expect a jumpseat.
