So, you are wrong, some of the most outspoken against the union would rather have none, as a matter of fact back in 2010-2011 a few mention winds of a spirit pilot union.

All I want is for ALL of us to retire HERE and make tge road for new pilots, NOT supporting our union and only criticizing everything they do isn't gonna help, it doesn't matter who you bring to the party.

How is it that you "don't about these guys you are talking about", but you know that "one of them was very outspoken how evil, crappy, communistic ALPA is" ?

Either you know them or you don't.

Is IAH going to eventually be a base for spirit? I know y'all already have Dallas right up the road but it seems like y'all are constantly adding new locations out of Houston.

Nonsense! Nothing could be further from the truth! He walked the line every day of the strike. And so did I...so I know he was there. He wears his ALPA pin. His ALPA tie frequently. How many current and ex-union reps are currently instructors? I can name a few. Trying to slander his reputation like that will not work. Clearly your first post on this APC was to do exactly that, huh?

But hey, Tex will meet you half way down the concourse to let you know he needs someone in the flightdeck to fuel

Don't you love it when those who can't get their own job done try to do yours?

I just look at him and tell him "he can start when I get back - OBTW, how is it that your fueler wants to start fueling but I don't yet have any paperwork? How does he know the fuel load?"

Don't let em bully you!

Well, the routes are there to support a base. If frequency ever increases I would say that, yes, it could definitely be a base for us. Just looking at what the company is trying to do there it makes sense. Southwest has both DFW and HOU bases so distance is not a factor. I think the odds are good but who knows.

I reviewed the website. I knew next to nothing about any of those guys (knew a little about CB and his failed recall effort). My takeaway is that they all want to publish 1) a budget and 2) ALPA trip drops. Where do they stand on our CBA, negotiations and their posture with dealing with Miramar? If I believed we had a corrupt and wasteful union, maybe I would care more about 1 and 2 - but I don't. And the 'transparency' battle cry only resonates with so many pilots. Gotta do better than that.
