Outstanding ALPA Leadership for Regionals
We are all so fortunate to have ALPA President Lee Moak providing such visionary leadership at the regionals.
His unwavering determination to make large contract gains in the face of the lack of supply of new pilots for the regionals is awe inspiring.
Surely the entire contents of Flying the Line part 3 will be all about him and his restoring the piloting profession.
How he drew a line in the sand and told the flying public it was no longer acceptable to pay a new hire first officer $20,000 a year to fly a $20 million dollar jet.
Amazing!! I just hope and pray he gets another term.

The FAA stood up for regionals more than Moak has. The 1500 hour rule essentially eliminates 121 carriers from being entry level jobs. For some reason ALPA is ok with pilots of 121 carriers continuing to be paid as entry level salaries.

WalMart greeter: $10.50/hr X 160/mo = $1650
Regional First Officer flying $20 million dollar jet: $21/hr X 75hours/mo = $1575
No only is Captain Moak not banding the regionals together against this poverty wage, he is actually assisting management jam it down our throats.
Time for change. Time for a real leader. Time to stand together.

Don't blame them one bit. ALPA's days are numbered. Many regional pilots will be gladly signing cards at the majors soon helping remove ALPA remembering the joke ALPA has been at the regional level.

ALPA represents many regional carriers. If ALPA was really there for our best interests, you wouldn't have crappy airlines like PSA undercutting a fellow ALPA carrier like Eagle. ALPA is worthless!
