Just like if they let NAS operate the 787s, but then that scum bag Kjos couldn't offer $150 fares(Baseline...wait for the total once the fees get tacked on)or destroy the US airline industry. Just like he did to the US Maritime Industry.

 

I really hope they get denied permanently. But if not, I hope we are prepared to engage in ruthless competition against them. Direct overflights with multipile flights (among all airlines) on every single route, and direct price match of their lowest promotional buckets until that pig bleeds out and the dirt bags that work for them go to the unemployment lines where they belong.

If scum like their kind ever do make it in this country, it will be 100% our fault for allowing it, and the one time 2.5 billion "return to shareholders" will be viewed as our Waterloo.

 

I'm sure that this will be looked at again after the mid term elections.

 

Let me first start off by saying that I am in fact a NAS 737 pilot. I am also a proud member of bALPA (uk Alpa)

Background:
I initially agreed with the ALPA campaign to deny NAI. I personally didn't like the fact that NAI was basing all of the 787 pilots in Bangkok working under a Singaporean law. I too saw this as a way for the NAI to prevent any form of union participation from its pilots. The 787 pilots apparently didn't seem to mind this to much themselfs on the grounds that they would much rather be paying Singaporian income taxes rather then the Scandinavia equvulant.
The latest developments are that Norwegian is going to be basing its 787 pilots in LGW effective in a month or two time. This will in-turn also necessitate UK employment contracts.

I personally see this as a victory for alpa. The offshore contracts/ social dumping situation will be a thing of the past.
This is however not new news; ALPA must have been aware of this.
So why continue to fight for denial of NAI?
ALPA has achieved its goal, right?

 

Not necessarily. Once the pressure is off of managment, what's to stop them from trying some other nefarious idea. Best to set precedence and get a final and permanent ban. That way it's codified in Federal law.

 

The worse than S-word airline is still the same pig with different lipstick. Those swine are coming for our jobs. I want them to be the ones in the unemployment lines hanging their heads in shame for being labor busting dirt bags.

 

That's nice.... meanwhile LM is still needlessly encouraging and signing concessionary contracts at the regionals.... ALPA is still a failure that needs to be put out to pasture.

 

Doesn't LM only sign the contracts after it has been approved by the local membership?

 

I heard a great definition of hatred the other day, "Hatred is like drinking poison hoping the other guy dies."

Perhaps you should look at your leadership and your management for not your preconceived notion of some form of protectionism. I just don't get this entitlement mentality.
