Apparently, reading for comprehension isn't your strong suit. There are all kinds of Union contracts out there. Some pay more (SWA), some pay less (Spirit).
However, all are negotiated, agreed to and ratified by their respective memberships. What sticks in my craw is the non-Union types who accept employment at low wages/no benefits. Then they come around and ask Union pilots for Union negotiated benefits (jumpseats). Is that a simple enough explanation for you? Forget it, no changing your mind, I know. |

Yes, simple. But it isn't that simple. The UNION has agreed to accept the Jumpseat agreements with non-union carriers, so...
Period. |

Actually, you're wrong. CASS is an interairline agreement. That's Management to Management. ALPA "suggests" we allow them on the jumpseat because ALPA eventually wants their dues money. Personally, I don't give a c*ap about that. And they aren't getting a ride...
Period. |

You might be surprised how many of us out here harbor ill will towards scaBlue.
Is it because they don't have a union? I have a lot to learn about this industry. -LAFF |
No- only if you want my business.

if the system is partly made of pilots, then so long as they have a voice and it's unified, the price of their labor should be held high as possible (with in reason) and that cost needs to be passed on to you as their service. Otherwise, why should I pay a lawyer or doctor for his time? Why not get Walmart to outsource their services to India or China and let the free market dictate their worth? |

Period. Inter airline agreement? Huh? We have an LOA with our company to have CASS. You sir are a bitter man. |
Saudi Arabia and other Arab states flooding the country with arms / money in order to defeat the Iranian elements / influence. The reality is if the Iranians took over (like they want to...and remember Iranians are PERSIAN which is different from the ARABS on the West side of the lake) most folks would just go about their business....look at Iraq under the Baathists (which were allied with Nazi Germany in WWII) and the distinct lack of effort anyone showed to make life better even though Sunni Arabs were in charge....except for the Iranian (Persian) Shi'ites (who are different ethnically from the Arab Shi'ites) such as that punk Al Sadr and his cronies (Saddam whacked his Dad/Uncle not because of their religious beliefs like Al-Jihad would have you believe, but because they were supporting IRAN in the war). And Saddam took care of them after we realized they were PERSIAN and the US reneged on our promise to support them after DS. Nothing is a simple as it seems, there's 600+ years of bad blood between all 3 parties, and we (those of us there in 2003) said that if I were Sunni, I'd pack up the family and move to Saudi because payback was coming.... |
