Where is that very nice friendly Snarge guy who is now a fellow professional aviator.


Once again a big thank you to the OC guys and the jetBlue pilots and ALPA for taking another chance.

Congratulations and welcome aboard to our new brothers at Jet Blue!

Lets start pattern bargaining. We've got our end of the house. Now lets lift!

Whatever happened at everyone's regional airlines, including my own, does not matter anymore, and is no longer pertinent. Its now time for everyone, whether pro or anti, to put on their big boy and girl pants and start working together. We are JetBlue pilots and we have earned the right to advocate for our careers.

Stop sniping and start thinking about how our conditions can be improved. Then start working to make it happen. We are ALPA now, whether or not any individuals wanted it, so it's time to move forward. Please stop looking for negatives and start looking for positives.

I am glad Snarge is absent. I have no time for POSs. We have work to do. Good job everyone

Funny I paid dues at Compass ALPA for 2 years and was NOT allowed to use KCM.
ALPA lobbied to get the program through all the government red tape. Each airline, whether their crews are union or non-union, have the choice to pay for that service for their crews. But the airline wouldn't have that choice if it wasn't for ALPA's lobbying and then pushing the program through.

I thought everyone knew this?

Speaking of freeloading... As a regional pilot you get more in ALPA services than you pay in for, while major airlines end up subsidizing your local ALPA unit.
Not all regionals. The larger ones, such as XJT and EGL are self-sufficient.

But I do contribute to the ALPA PAC which has helped other programs such as CASS, FFDO, ASAP, TCAS, etc get federal mandates.
