In the late Summer of 1998, NWA Pilot's went on Strike. Mesaba, NWA's feed, conducted a "sympathy strike" and did not fly/operate revenue during the NWA Strike. With Express Jet (intertwined with ASA-ALPA /SkyWest-nonunion) being ALPA, cannot say for certain what would happen with the United Feed, especially when some UAL feed is ALPA as well (IE-XJT)?? Stay tuned if/when it gets that far. If we come to that bridge, I'm sure "Struck Work" will be defined loud and clear by the Union at that time. |

Thanks. I for one do not want to betray my ALPA brothers and sisters. I'll stay tuned for more...

Yea, I'm just surprised that every time there is a strike vote, it's less than 100%. I don't get it.
got scabs? |
Does the NMB have any timeframe for responding to the release requests? Or can they just drag their feet just like everyone else in this process?

First, it scares me that you even ask this question. No union member HAS TO CROSS ANOTHERS PICKET LINE! You guys join ALPA for what? YOU work under UNICAL's logo,
therefore you honor and JOIN the picket line. J |

As I recall, it was management that shut down their operations along with ours.
As far as Mesaba ceasing ALL operations during the NWA Strike, that's not exactly accurate. There were some ALPA approved/sanctioned Avro 85's that flew 'non-scheduled/non-rev' MSP-DTW/DTW-MSP segments during the lock-out. |

Just a thought, logically thinking here, shouldn't all scabs be 100% in favor of a strike. Without a strike, a scab can't **** his co-workers, and reveal the true nature of the ***** that comprises the fiber of his being. The scab vote SHOULD be 100% in favor of a strike.
