The eagle guys need to look at XJT to see their future. Prop feed replaced by colgan, 50 seat feed replaced by CHQ, massive furloughs follow.

Tony is a good guy, even if he is from New York.

It contributes nada to contract enforcement, but to fear mongering it contributes mucho!

To the Eagle guys: When did Tony get elected and Herb got out of office? It's nice to see Herb get out of his ivory tower and fly from the right seat and witness what his crappy leadership brought out.

An unprofessional assessment at best and a complete misunderstanding of how an ALPA MEC is organized at worst. Herb didn't reelect himself four times nor does a union turn on the actions of one representative. If anything was remiss in this situation it falls to those in charge: the membership.

We're not a top-down corporation or even an insurance company. We're a union. A group who's power and direction comes from the bottom up. If, like an irresponsible father who tosses his 16 year old son the keys to the car no questions asked, we do not monitor the activities of our elected reps, then we only have ourselves to blame.

In my past 19 years as a union pilot, I've noticed an inverse correlation between the loudness a pilot screams about their union and their personal involvement in that same union.

I am trying to remember my eagle contract's language regarding this but I cant off the top of my head. But if the sole complaint is about the “aggressively seek to increase flying opportunities” and “bid on opportunities to provide additional feed to American Airlines” then I dont see what sort of stand the eagle has against the company when eagle is the one getting "increase(d) flying opportunities" to "provide additional feed to American Airlines" with the additional CRJ's. If you wouldnt mind helping me and fellow RAH pilots understand the situation I am sure it would be appreciated.


Alot of this was already decided during the TSA arbitration in 2002. The arbitor - even though he ruled against EGL ALPA - went on to provide examples of what "would" have been a violation...

This was used to return the MIA flying that was temporarilly transfered to an outside contractor a year or so ago... This is just another example of AMR forcing labor groups to spend/waste money defending their contract. In the end, the decision was already rendered back in 2002.

as much as I enjoy disagreeing with you.... you are correct.
He also added to his ruling that Eagle was in maximum growth mode already and was unable to assume the extra flying.... that condition no longer exists either.

Because they are hoping to set a new precendent. They are hoping that by increasing Eagle flying a little and giving them some new airplanes they won't fight the transfer of their routes.... one of the only good things to come from the TSA arbitrations... if they don't defend that, it will let AMR REPLACE them altogether sometime down the road...
