Got a $75 bill from alpa, random... I left the company in January, anyone else get this? Is it legit?

 

I've been getting the same bill every so often for a while now. I called them and asked what it was about and was told it was for "continued ALPA services and to continue getting the monthly ALPA magazine" or something like that. I told them I wasn't going to pay it.

I wouldn't worry about it if I were you. ALPA National never did a thing for me and just constantly craps on the Comair pilots. F 'em.

 

Is this JS?

 

Well I would like to work for an ALPA carrier one day....

 

Diver Driver,
Did you ever get an answer to the question about listing for flights after you have left the company? I just left in April and can still list for free. In essence there is no way to pay for the yield fare. I'm wanting to travel but don't want to get hit with a bill on the backside or at the ticket counter. The yield fare calculator on Travelnet seems to be all over the place with pricing. Did you ever get this figured out? Anyone else please feel free to answer as well. Thanks!

 

They tack on a fuel surcharge, companion pass CVG-RSW 81 bucks RT. buddy pass 181 bucks

 

Never got an answer, but I didn't ask anyone from HQ either... Ive just been using Travelnet to check loads and then Jumpseat. I think we may get a bill for any flights taken, so I'm scared to try the non-rev thing.

 

I think that is your Dogma being splattered by DALPA's Karma after CMR's treatment of DAL furloughs post 9/11.

 

Ouch......where to begin!.

Ok first, I'm referring to mgmt.

Second, you might be implying about the time when your MEC came to ours and did not ask, but instead told us to accept your furloughees at the same seniority as they were in mainland with pay adjusted accordingly. Yet when our MEC asked for some sort of reciprocation, it was irrefutably denied. Is that the time?. Well, you could see how that went.

Just remember there are enough people/companies "mighty" delta has ****ed off and stepped on along the way (PanAm anyone), and I mean more than one. And life is nothing but a circle. Have a great day.

 

Sorry but you've been lied to.....

CMR mgmt had a policy that to hire a DAL furloughee, they had to resign their DAL position.

ASA had no such policy, nor any other regional. I had friends go to ASA (who along with CMR was growing like gangbusters due to DAL parking the 727 and 737-200 and replacing them with RJ fleet) and they started at the bottom on probation.

DALPA went to the CMR MEC and asked for them to ask CMR mgmt to accept DALPA pilots on furlough for interviews without requiring them to RESIGN from DAL.

CMR MEC said we kind of like the policy anyway, but for a little quid pro quo we'd see what could be done (ultimately nothing). Meanwhile, 100's of DAL furloughees went to ASA, SKYWEST, EXPRESSJET, Horizon, and Jetblue (all with the ability to be recalled until 2014)

Most at DALPA realize that current CMR FO's probably weren't around during that time, but junior DAL pilot's will have a long memory (and short sympathy) for any CMR pilot from the 2001 timeframe. But not to worry, US AIR is hiring.

Kharma does indeed come-round
