Yuuuup
I was at an ALPA carrier before Blue.
We do have many FO's who could hold Captain, so while I understand the Captain/FO rep deal I like the silo system better. I feel it offers a really good balance.

The current silo system or something very similar will work. If we vote the Association in and we get unequal representation of all the pilots on property, I will be on board to de-certify them after we get our first CBA. I want a union that represents ALL the pilots at JB, not an association that collects dues and favors the senior members.

One reason I want to go there is because of no union. **** ibt alpa

Well, you have a substandard union in the Teamsters. So it's no wonder you feel that way. Wanna be a Teamster, go drive a truck or do some manual labor job.

I fully expect our silo system to remain. I will be VERY ****ed off if it is not.

I voted for ALPA but I really hope we keep the silo system.

As usual, Payne is correct. Silo system only.

Now just wait until after the vote and a group of our pilots that demands the more traditional setup, of course for THIER own benefit. Hope I'm wrong. Really hope I'm wrong.
