Just got word from AFA International that the AFA ratification vote passed. NWA F/A's voted in AFA. Just wanted to welcome you guys.
For the first time since NWA filed BK we finally have some hope.One question: WHAT were you thinking????
Why DO You Have To Be Such A Jerk? :down:Hang in there. I'm sure Pat Friend should be giving herself a HUGE raise now. One question: WHAT were you thinking???? Instead of a union that just represented one airline, you now have a union that represents NO ONE!!! (except Pat and friends)
No, you didn't miss anything at all. in fact, you could go to sleep for twenty years, a la Rumplestilskin, and not miss any action on the part of our so-called "union," because there isn't any.
Not now; not tomorrow; not ever.
Some, like XXX and XXXXX, choose to stick with that good ol' standby--self-loathing--and blame the membership itself.
Others--like your so-called 'Grand poo-bah'--just adore blaming flight attendants for their so-called apathy, as if "volunteering" to answer phones at the AFA-CWA
(which might as well be Jimmy Hoffa's house, for all we hear from them about anything that matters) would solve everything.
All of the above purposely IGNORE the fact that we have been irrevokably foresaken by this corrupt piece-o-xxxx "union."
Ever since the so-called "merger," their main mission has become clear:
Grow, grow, grow...and XXXX United flight attendants or whatever they want.
Pat Friend is a crook who hijacked our union dues and built only her OWN job security--certainly not ours.
And there is nothing--nothing--"volunteer," about the $12 million a year United Airlines Flight Attendants PAY for professional representation.
If you hired somebody for $12 million a year, would you blame yourself for not answering their telephone, if the job weren't getting done?
That's how preposterously upside-down this workforce has become.
We had hope with PFAA and all that, remember? Well I'm still skeptical but I was sold on their vast resources they can pull... We will see in 2 weeks what magic Tinkerbell can create.For the first time since NWA filed BK we finally have some hope.
This isnt a slam or an attemt to flame, but is there specific differences in philosophies or policies? What will change?
