That would be correct. But the "Bone Daddy's Brigade" hasn't actually done anything concrete to try and direct the union.

On the other hand, our brothers in FLL did take concrete actions to direct their union….and you guys ignored them.


I guess the "Bone Daddy's Brigade" is the reason your buddies lost 109. I guess the "Bone Daddy's Brigade" is the reason 109 passed resolutions to change the NC. I guess the "Bone Daddy's Brigade" is the reason only 36% of the pilots cared enough to answer your in house contract wish list.

On one hand, you constantly attack the "Bone Daddy's Brigade", indicating that you feel threatened - which implies that said "Brigade" actually has some power and influence - and on the other hand you try show that the "Bone Daddy's Brigade" is a small and insignificant group. Why do you constantly get defensive about a small group of guys in DFW who get together and eat BBQ? If we're so insignificant, why don't you let it go? If we're (I am) the threat you think we are, I'd think that you'd be trying to bring us back into the fold vs driving us out even further.

Like I told a political operative in Vegas, I could step in front of a bus tomorrow and you guys will still have opposition. Opposition based on a desire to have a voice. Opposition to your brand of jack boot unionism, not opposition due to unionism.

 

You would be wrong. Forums are powerful, which is exactly the reason ManFlex continues to use them for politics. As do I. But I'm not an insider protecting my political career. I'm just a line pilot who wants my union to work to further/protect my career vs furthering their own political aspirations or the goals of their buddies at ALPA National. They seem to have forgotten that the contract exists to protect the members of ALPA in service to Spirit Airlines………... we don't exist for the contract, it exists for us.

 

How do you know that? I never saw the results. I thought that was MEC secret squirrel stuff.

 

If I recall correctly there was an email sent out about the generic results of the poll. I also remember flying with one rep that told me that.

 

I'm still waiting for spiritman to give his real name and issue a public apology for airing out a brothers personal legal history on a public forum.

 

This forum has gone to sheet since the other board closed down...

 

Can the "bone daddy's brigade" please change the venue so we can rename it.

Pappdeauxs Rebels
Uncle Julio's Fine Mexican Food Banditos
Olive Garden War Lords
Burger King Mafia

 

How do I get an invite?

May I suggest Hard 8's Hard A$$'s?

 

This is the first time I have laughed hard reading this thread!

 

Awesome! All great suggestions!
