Yes we do. What should be crystal clear to anyone here is that this is a hit piece, and nothing more. Turn down the noise and ask yourself, do you REALLY think that a rep WANTS pilots to be furloughed? If so, the lug head that started the thread is correct. If you think that perhaps there are many valid reasons to oppose the TA, like nearly half of the pilot group did, then maybe, just maybe, this thread is a desperate hit job by someone who sees the writing on the wall for Insler and his pals? Stew on it for a minute. It’s pretty obvious for anyone paying attention.

And with all the politicking going on right now, I can't imagine new guys have a lot of faith in their representation.

With the company rapidly turning over its seniority list, the young dudes are going to reach critical mass in short order, and I have to imagine the distaste in how everyone has handled themselves this year will have a powerful impact on future votes.

just wait - you ain't seen 'nuthin yet!

But insler has tilted the board solidly in UA's favor. He has fractured the group and lowered expectations. You guys have a LOT of work ahead of you. But it's nice to see the revolt. TumiTA was an abomination.

Pretty good synopsis.

Apparently pilots have seen enough if the wave of recalls is any indication.

The waves off recalls are based upon pilots' wallet. The TA failed. Your Camp always votes no, and finally ya'll got lucky. That is all. Now you want everyone to think you are the smarted guy in the room because of your David Spade Capitol One NO act. please.

Jerry,

its interesting how you think calling me out means something. Irrelevant.

The political hit job you guys manufactured last night isn't going well on other forums.

Pilots are rightfully repulsed by so-called union representatives turning in line pilots to the company. It is the ultimate betrayal and antithetical to what a rep is supposed to do. This is commonplace for Todd and the Toddlers. Unfortunately, HR makes it very difficult to shine the light on this completely anti-union behavior.

For those who don't want to be bothered with all the details of the corruption all you need to do is look at TA1, the sales job of it, the unprecedented extension of the voting, the shenanigans at LEC reps and the ALPA Int'l VP of Admin making recall efforts as difficult as possible and NONE of our so-called reps resigning. It is unprecedented as is the wave of recalls. The line pilots obviously get it.

Jerry, just stop accusing what you are guilty of. Just stop. This has been your play book for decades. First one to accuse gets the sympathy. Just stop making a mockery of our union.

It is true and has been going on for at least a year now. Article 8 is toothless in good times and even more so when the ALPA Int'l VP of Admin is a short timer, corrupt Toddler. HR protects these cowardly miscreants.

JM, Exactly. Then HR protects these so-called reps who are the antithesis of unionists.

Oh the irony. The ToddSquad needs zero help on this score. Jerry is just the guy pointing the flashlight at the turd. He didn't drop it. The ToddSquad did.

Spoilers Deploy 10-17-2022 07:21 AM

Yet Jerry's group weaponized Article 8 hearings in the past. It was so bad the criteria was changed. that is why Jerry calls A8 toothless, because he can't continue to weaponize it

JM, I call it toothless because it is. It is called the truth JM. You ought to try it sometime.

Interesting that the clown who got his clocked cleaned by the subject of this thread is on here spewing disinformation. The C11 pilots who know you best said, NO THANKS.

True statement, and ALPA is just as big as a dumpster and ineffective as all those listed.

I like block reps at my shop.

I'm Gen X and remember when we were going to destroy society. I was laughing my A$$ off at a recent article describing how Millennials are "bewildered" by Gen Z in the workplace. Obviously, there are always large generalities and assumptions in these discussions, but it was still hilarious hearing Millennials are starting to reach the "young people and their long hair and loud music" stage of life. Time marches on, I guess. 🤣

Yes this is correct 😂. Not only the disconnect with gen Z, but I can't even yell at kids in the neighborhood to get off my lawn because nobody plays outside anymore! So I just murmur to myself on my porch while I drink my coffee and read the news on my phone. Who knew..
