Default Hey IPA pilots, the ABX pilots need your help

Hey IPA Pilots,

Remember the August of 1997 and the resounding unity shown by all pilots in the UPS system to not fly struck goods resulting in an overwhelming IBT/IPA victory? Well, history needs to repeat itself...

Just a former freight dog out on medical here, but I am reading that the ABX pilots of IBT 1224 are fighting the good fight, but could use some assistance..

It sounds like they are having problems with not having picket lines set up at their outstations, thus giving ATI and Atlas crews no protection from not flying due to no picket lines. It sounds like they need help in outstations such as ABE, CVG, ONT, etc.

I am just one powerless, out-of-work former freight dog, and no longer in the union game, but I would help if I could.

Could you all call your IPA Chairman to call IBT 1224 and offer any assistance that they might have to offer? Also, you all see these pilots in the airport terminals, hotels, and hotel shuttles. Why all don't you go down and join their picket lines? During the Amerijet International strike, their were more American Airlines pilots on the picket line than Amerijet pilots.

When just one pilot wins, we all win!

Thanks

I've forwarded your post to IPA. You bring up some very good points.

Thanks for the Amen, Whale.

I'm sure the IPA will put out a letter of support to those guys soon.
