ALPA/USAPA Topic for week of 1/24 to 1/31

[Tiger 1050]

This is an important question but the terms you have chosen reveal a presupposition that is not quite accurate. You see the question is "how do we plan on getting a contract for us." The NMB says its "Us" now.

It has been "Us" since may 19th 2005... The NMB has only decided whether or not we vote as a combined group in the upcoming election.

If ALPA is retained in the election then the strong division will remain since either side can veto a "solution" that they don't like. It just continues to be a standoff.

Or say USAPA! Either way you'll find that strong division will exist and the west will continue to vote no on any TA that alters the Nic. Don't believe that the Transition Agreement magically disappears just because USAPA is voted in...

If USAPA is elected then "we" are one and we will all work together for the best contract that we can vote on. And since it will be a big happy family then the moderates from both sides will naturally come together and outnumber the extremists on both sides, thus resulting in a solution being possible. We all vote it down together or we all vote it up together.

I don't think that is very likely...

Have you fella' even entered into the equation that your position has other groups interest at heart!
If you look at the topics on this site, you notice we're all in it with the efforts of the least of your brothers.
We have "U-Tube". Pilots got their Two cents in, and the rest did also.
Everyone has a point! How do we get this across to a self serving group of investors? Everyone is "SPINNING WHEELS"

The Great Pension Giveaway on our turf was exemplary of what happens in such instances. It was later seen that said wholesale surrender wasn't warranted.

Your pension was toast no matter which union represented you. It's what happens in Chapter 11.
