Hello. Here is the fellow that posted that. Apparently since I'm a new-hire to the APC forum, I can't receive PMs yet. If anyone out there has some sort of guidance on who set this type of fund up for Amerijet, please post it here (of course still being respectful of other's privacy).

At my airline, there's been two "Pilot Crisis/Contingency Funds" set up and yes indeed they are a royal legal pain in the fanny. We've GOT to help these guys out as they might be in for one heck of an ugly fight.

Absolutely, bring it on, in comparison loosing my job, ain't crap in comparison to the money they'll loose pulling these shenanigans. SCUMBAGS!!

I'll have to answer to my wife, they'll have to answer to Investors and God, both of them will put a piece of Hot iron up their Arses in good time.

And the scumbags that showed his face on a FA recurrent class, have some dignity and stop saying "GOD BLESS" he does not protect "SCUM".

(According to a FA who asked whats the big deal about the pilots getting industry avg pay, and he answer that "WE ARE BELOW AVG PILOTS", really?, a few month ago you compared us to SW pilots.)

SHAME on you.
Great resume you are building.

Quick qstn:

I understand that if we strike pass 35 days we will receive compensation from
ALPA (about $1400), but what if we strike under that, say 5-10 days, is there any help to cover those days or not?

DO NOT CROSS, I will find you!!

The answer is no. I'm working on it, but it's been slow going.

all I can say is I hope Spirit pilots get what they deserve. Tired of seeing management screw pilots.

I just want you ALL to know that I was there, and I carried a sign. In fact, when the van arrived at the airport, I was one of the FIRST four to carry a sign.

I later rode the van to Griffin Road and US1. I was there with 150 other pilots!

Ladies and gentlemen- we SHOWED the BASTARDS today! I am proud of the Alpa showing. But what really tugs at my heart? The 50 or so APA guys from American Airlines! THOSE GUYS have the right idea! I was the lone Fedex representative today [and PROUD!], but the fact that 50 some-odd guys from another union showed up? THAT is REAL solidarity!

My name is Norm. I'll do what I can in the future for any of you!

N!

I was walking yesterday with Delta, Continental, US airways, United, and ExpressJet pilots in ACY. In a small base where we have about 60 pilots only. We ended up with about 1/3 of the picketers from other airlines. I mean even ExpressJet is 4x the size of Spirit. Not to mention the other ones.

It is one thing reading about unions at a board like this, and it is a whole another thing to walk with some white hair guys in the 80F heat for 2 hours...

Thank you!!!
