I am sure he thinks he can do a better job, or some 3 yr capt from some regional.
If you want to set negotiations back several years, go ahead and see what happens when you get someone in there that hasn't dealt with this management before.

The seniority list includes over 1000 pilots. Are you saying that the best we can do for negotiators is the three proven losers we have now?

The Chair and Vice Chair gave away premium pay, wrote automation language (red/green) that required/requires YEARS of arbitrations, and gave away first year pay. The third member gave away his job at DHL.

Setting negotiations back several years is preferable to another cost neutral, or worse, TA.

They really, truly, do NOT have a positive track record. Unless you count a "we want to surf porn on our iPads and not get into trouble with the company" DL LOA.

Better to keep your mouth shut and be thought an idiot than to speak and remove all doubt.

If the above is all true than this isn't good for the members.

Its not all true. I'll give GeauxPro the benefit of the doubt and assume he is merely ignorant or misinformed as opposed to intentionally libelous.

OK. I have met Matayas and Slotten both, they certainly didn't strike me as losers. In fact, quite the opposite. I get it that a lot of people don't think to highly of the contract, but if you think it is a result of negotiators run wild pursuing personal agendas, that's not the way it works. To call them losers because you have issues with the final product is way over the top.

As for Morrison, he was on the negotiating committee for a time but was not part of the group that negotiated the DHL CBA of 2008, where it was agreed that ALPA would abandon its scope litigation against DPWN. I know this to be true. I was there. What GeauxPro said was patently false.

Sorry for employing cliches, by the way. I guess you're more comfortable with malicious misrepresentations of peoples' character?

So I was potentially interested in Spirit as an alternative to my current situation. But, I just read about this whole FA in the engine situation. What a completely screwed up moral code and management you guys have. Is there an un-apply button?

That *situation* you speak of is/was a non event, blown out of proportion by people with *high morals* like you. For moral code and better management go to *law school or politics*. Please do not join our airline.

We got some here... Limited... But some nonetheless.

Anyway this always goes back to the whole "grass is greener" concept. Looks like the grass is green enough to me.

And ramrod... You make Farva look like a genius.
