They all deserve a good ol fashion beat down

Wow if this pi$$e$ you off....
 

You guys should see how much fun we have in Vegas when ALPA national holds a conference there. See how much hookers and booze your $$$ buys for greasing the wheels of labor and commerce, but some people just don't understand "business."

we do understand the greasing required BUT not when our volunteers are just lubricating themselves for no reason other than to spend my dues.

ALPA is just the flip side of the same coin at most carriers, it's just Eagle is among the worst. Corrupt acts are nothing new. Didn't national deliberately destroy/hide incriminating evidence in the TWA suit ?

Considering the grotesque and unearned compensation and bennies the porkers in Herndon are feasting on, is it no wonder smaller pigs who circle the same trough are trying to burrow their snouts as deep as possible into whatever trough presents itself ?

Corruption breeds corruption and the whole ALPA "concept" is nothing but a modified Ponzi scheme with tens of thousands of marks to keep it going. Lets be realistic; during the last 15 years has ALPA done anything for industry compensation, stability or advancement ?

Virtually nothing, except maintaining their own troughs for ravenous self-gluttony has been accomplished while the providers of that trough are continuously clobbered by the very people whom ALPA is supposed to protect them from. I dont see how anyone can NOT see this whole scene the scam of scams. Since many seem not only willing, but actually enthusiastic about shoveling their money into this trough in perpetuity, nothing is likely to cure the illness itself.

Well said sir!

Well, I'm sure many ALPA supporters have different opinions than mine, but one has to ask exactly what line pilots have collectively gotten representationally over the last 15 years for their investment. It would seem obvious that what is happening at Eagle reveals a systemic dysfunction vs. an isolated one considering how this and similar operational attitudes exist within other carriers and the national entity that should be monitoring such carriers representatives financial conduct at the very least. Line pilots really are "investors" in a "product" and it appears that investment isn't reaping returns for the investors, instead funding extravagant living for those few with access to the investment capital, both at the individual carrier level and at the national level.

The ROI for virtually all line pilots in the industry has been a complete bust while it appears it's the exact opposite for those in elected ALPA positions.
