By that logic nobody should complain about our federal government then. We should volunteer to help the Feds then right?
Wrong We pay taxes. Same as dues. My voice should have value. My Union should have to work for my money. I sure have to work for it. 8 months is too long. We need/want answers. |

There is a big difference between federal government and a union. If anything, it's more like a neighborhood association because most people volunteer their time and aren't paid full time employees. That's why you need to get involved.

It took me 15 years to get to where I am tonight. 15 years and 10,000 hours to get to $86/hour.
What gets me is the arrogance of some Union people that think that after taking a weekend negotiation seminar they think they are qualified to negotiate and write contracts. Obviously the people that wrote our critical pay section were in way over their heads. They took the pilots groups money and we now have a contract worth less than the previous. Travis has his plate full. He was left a crappy situation. Yes ALPA national is to blame. If they can't proofread and write contracts that are enforceable then they need to do something else. |

Alpa doesn't support regional pilots, they only collect dues. Smoke and mirrors. Additionally, having alpa represent major airlines and the contract airlines they are affiliated with is a conflict of interest.

Thank you. Don't think he gets it though, so instead he comes on APC to complain instead. But if he wants to use the government scenario, how often do the people complaining ever write to their congressmen or senators and voice themselves. Never. People love to complain but hate to put in the time and effort to try to make the change. This entire thread makes my point perfectly.

They tell us 4-6 months to get an answer regarding the arbitration.
It's now 8. The union lied to us in December. They were negotiating with the company. What other lies are they telling us? |

Get peoples signatures to support whatever it is you want. Coming on here a *****ing isn't going to much. Be a part of the solution, call Alpa national and make them earn what you've paid
"Hey members.. you don't have a right to complain unless you're "involved". " |

And you voted in that contract that EVERYONE said was going to come back to haunt you. This forum was full of warning you to vote no. But, new jets!! |
