Has Falcon Air Express formed an organizing committee yet? If not, how is National supposed to approach Falcon Air when there is nobody to go to. Are they supposed to walk up to random pilots and ask "Want to organize."

It takes 10 or so pilots to form an organizing committee and then call up Herndon and say "Lets do this."

good luck

As they more pilots in ALPA the better chance for lasting unity we may have.

As far as Scenic Airlines goes, ironically, that is where the great pooba of ALPA started, John Prater, president. John Prater worked at Scenic Airlines as a pilot. 10,000 cheeseburgers later must dull his memory of what it is like in a Cessna 402 with the door hanging open providing cooler air.

Time for a change, your body sheds its skin automatically, shedding your union is manual.
Well I know you hate to have facts get in the way of your bloviations, but ALPA has represented the Midwest pilots all the way through their seniority arbitration. They provided all of the legal and technical assistance in representing their interests in the seniority dispute.

Just curious, who is REALLY paying for all that legal representation?

I am pretty sure it is you and me and every other active ALPA member. That's the union concept to help your buddies when they need a hand, so I have no problem with it.

Well yeah, thats what I would do if my membership had dropped like a hot rock, and was really interested in the quality of the profession.
We have about fifty in our group and IBT and Alpa won't return our calls.

We tried to get ALP[A] on property but we had less than 100 total pilots at that time. ALP[A] said they were not interested because we did not have enough dues paying pilots to make it worth their while.

Money talks . . . if it ain't talkin' loud enough ALP[A] could care less.
Wow!! ALPA's shareholders must be getting rich then, huh?

Times may have changed, but this is the same reason Chautauqua ended up with the Teamsters back in the late '90s.

Funny.

Except when you consider the following . . . this is obviously from a few years back, like 2008 I believe, these numbers are copied from a previous Union post from within these forums. Perhaps some ALPA types can post the current salary and compensation information. Personally, I would be interested in seeing those numbers. Anybody else interested?
