This verdict against ALPA is a clear and unambiguous showing of the unethical behavior of ALPA and ALPA legal. This unambiguous showing was handed down by an independent panel of jurors who did not have a dog in the fight. I know it's painful for the ALPA apologists to hear this, but it's the truth. You can call it an OJ jury or a Casey Anthony jury if it makes you feel better, but it's just a silly argument. If this had been the only example of unethical behavior, you could almost try to look the other way. But it's not the only example. ALPA's and ALPA legal's attempt to bust their own in-house union of clerical workers had a similar result by the judiciary. I simply cannot imagine how so many of us are able to look the other way with such behavior and such failure. Quote:

Many on here want DPA to outsource everything, and that is the point. It make the whole, outsourcing is bad argument hold little to no water. I am not reworking my words, just responding to your points. ALPA does almost everything in house. One of the reasons why, is because it gives you better results. So much so that APA wanted it, and other use it. As for the law firm point, the point is there are not many in the business of representing labor in the open market. That is why ALPA goes with the best, and the rest go with the other few. |

On the second point, I agree, and that was a very low point for ALPA, and imo totally unacceptable. There is a lot wrong with alpa, and I am the first to admit it, my point is that it is better to fix what we have. I know we disagree on this. Maybe someday we will see eye to eye. |

There is a downside to streaking and it's when football players in pads angrily participate. It's too bad I couldn't post the naked women grabbing the flag poles at a golf course and running off with them. Those are funny. |

What do you mean "not all of the facts are out yet?" Are we expecting more damaging information, suits or crippling judgements. Serious ?. I don't know the answer. Is it true that the ALPA Hdqtrs building in DC was once owned outright by ALPA, but was either mortgaged or sold to cover a previous judgement against them? |

If the DPA had the power they claim, they could rick-roll any LEC they wanted. They'd be able to claim the MEC, make the changes they want, KEEP the CF money and then pick up the phone to LM and say "do what we want, or we're out of here", which is far, FAR better vengence than simply taking your ball and slinking home. What's worse, it's a distraction for competent people who could legitimately make some needed changes in the current regime. The whole DPA has "spoiled the barrel" from problems that need fixing.

There's only 3,400 pilots that have joined the DPA. I say "only" because it's not a majority and I'm sure ALPA would claim it as a minority.
To say the DPA could takeover the MEC is to also say any minority could take over the union. And it begs the question, is that what is going on right now? To me it's not a good thing that the structure of the union would allow that. We often talk about recall your reps, some say it's easy so as to challenge the discontent to work within the ALPA system. But this could absolutely allow a small coordinated minority, and when I say minority I mean a group that believes in the opposite of whatever you believe in, to take over enough of the LECs to rest control of the union and it may not be to the benefit of the pilots. That's why I want to vote for LEC and MEC Chairman. Local and "national" representation. You can therein effect or prevent change however you see fit. |
