next vote on the TA will be a completely different demographic. 200 less senior pilots. Nearly all of those junior pilots who could not vote due to probation will be able to vote. They have been grinding their axes and eating rocky road ice cream …. Wonder what the survey will find. So what if it takes another year or 2 …. Get it right. The fact that they wanted us to address scope next contract was insane. $1000 / hr means nothing if you don’t have a job. As long as retirement went up and out the door….
they will be dealing with heir from the 5th panzer division, this time round, need better than the typical ALPA clowns. Don’t need art to read his pre written script, that scope guy to make the ‘costs twice as much and is 15-20 percent less reliable”…. Company has changed. The pilot demographic has changed and are very demanding, have all the time in the world to get this right…. Leaving ALPA and joining our UPS brotherhood seems the way ahead. Looking at the numbers over half the company has been on property less than 6 years and are much younger in age. The days of meet me at the computer so you can log on, the CA signs, and prints somewhere days are over…. Welcome to the early 2000s gramps
along all this mess that just happened… at some point there needs to be a true criminal investigation of accepting gifts, bribes by union officials, in promise by company “in exchange for”. NC definitely had at least 1 compulsive liar. Company seemingly negotiating in bad faith, but hey, our disputes are handled by the only person who answers the phone at the MEC, CE, who in all his paralegal days gets his wrists permanently tied to his ankles….
in short, what we will get and become is better than what we are and would have gotten. We were rock bottom. Why couldn’t we wait until September for the mediator ? Really? I’d peal that onion back, there is more to it. Multibillion dollar CBA is all the motive needed. I know some parties have already stepped forward in hopes to get leniency, in exchange for cooperation to avoid general population …. This one will go down for a true b rated movie casting Nicholas cage and that guy from Fargo wood chipper scene for sure
so in closing , I don’t want Fop da##mit! I’m a DapperDan man!
