If this merger goes thru their may not be time for another union drive. That being said I think I agree it's time to get a beer and stop worrying about things we can nothing about!!

Not to mention that it is NOT going to happen.

Once a merger is announced its too late. Although AirTran voted in ALPA the negotiations with SWA began while the in-house union was in place. Because of this AirTran in house contract was used which ultimately lacked a merger of operations clause like the JetBlue PEA's.
Time is of the essence when it comes to the next union vote.

Bottom line...

You fly airplanes owned by other people. They will determine what color the airplanes are and what they will do with the money. If it gets bad enough, you'll go somewhere else, IF that is better. In the meantime, live below your means and fund your own retirement. As in almost all other jobs, lifetime employment is over. It was always sketchy at best in the airline business...most guys have had 3 different uniforms in their closets.

Plan accordingly.

He actually had some pretty good points.

Some guys get lucky for a few years, but this industry will bite you in the a$$ eventually.

No need, you just did it for me. Kharmic justice does prevail in aviation.

Good luck with your career.

Best,
Jack

I don't agree. Pilot groups should not be passive.
