ALPA is the nationwide pilot union. The sooner people realize that, the better off the entire profession will be.

Absolutely NOT in favor of a national seniority list. I'm a member of an independent union. My company is financially sound. My company would be a purchaser of other companies and then they would take selected assets and selected key employees only. My company is in no danger of ever being bought out by another and therefore, I have no worry of having to start over at the bottom of someone else's seniority list.

It seems that the only people in favor of a national seniority list are those working at financially struggling airlines and those that are in danger of being bought out.

Remember those words in twenty years, because surely your day too will come....The wall street types will find a way to punch a hole in your situation and security.....What you have just posted has been said by many in the past during their pilot group's heyday and almost all have had to eat their words.

Wow Czech, could you put a bigger jinx on your company. Isn't singing the praises of your companies invincibility like talking to your pitcher in the 7th inning about his no-hitter? And, don't you think that there were some Pan-Am and TWA pilots saying the same thing 30 years ago. History has a tendency to repeat itself.

Not worried about a jinx or karma or any of that BS. Only stating facts about my company. Oh, my company isn't an airline in the traditional sense, so it's not subject to traditional airline industry pressures and up and down cycles.

IF something were to happen to my employer, it would be a SHTF and TEOTWAWKI scenario, so starting over at the bottom of someone else's seniority list wouldn't even be on the radar scope.

Are you the captain of Air Force One?

No. Just an employee for a integrated transportation and logistics provider that is fairly senior, financially well off and is not worried about my companies future.

My company has purchased two companies that either had or used to have their own airlines at the time of purchase. My company just took selected portions of both companies, mainly operating rights and customer bases. We did not take any aviation related assets or any aviation related employees from either company.

I think their nation is getting smaller....

So do you want a seniority list or not?

It is always entertaining watching and reading posts like this from those eager to "one up" everyone, even when the venue and topic renders your comments completely irrelevant. Yes, you are THAT GUY...congratulations. Got any big fish stories you could tell us?
