Did their operation ever really have the money to prior to 9/11? They never really rocketed to the top, everyone else just crumbled around them and they were able to capitalize on the chaos that was the 2000’s.

Now they’re a real airline, with melt downs, bad press and strike talk.

I'm sure you know this, but ALPA will never tell you to do otherwise. ALPA saying pretty much anything at all other than do your job, will be taken to be a job action, in the courts. You will not hear this, so don't be waiting for it.

ALPA has done this actually. At Continental in 1983, United in 1985, Eastern in 1989, Northwest in 1998, Comair in 2001. With various levels of success….

questioning the intent of a post isn’t trolling, but following people around the site insulting them sure is.

Yes ALPA has done this in the past. It will not happen again in this era of management friendly court injunctions.

I would urge everyone to carefully read the SPSC ALPA email yesterday regarding Status Quo.

Since the topic is already off track, I don't feel too bad adding one more off topic question that I've always wondered about, and I promise I'm not planning on doing this, I'm just curious, regarding illegal job actions:

Can the airlines go after a pilot at another ALPA carrier?
A pilot at a non ALPA carrier?
A random person?

As in someone that works at Home Depot coming on these forums advocating illegal job actions

Back to the “close” part of this. There is a boiling at TK of PIs that have been waiting and waiting, almost all can hold captain in Denver, talk of 45 day notices has risen substantially. News needs to come soon or the more senior of the building will be leaving.
