Hey Goob,
Below you will find an example of the literary genius of one of your brightest lights. This individual was chosen by the crack Alpa leadership team to head up the R & I committee during the period that our pension fund suffered staggering losses. You can be proud that Bill Pollock, enthusiastically supported by Tim Baker and your high powered Charlotte brain trust of Dennis Harris and Lance Swendson, placed a functional illiterate in the position responsible for keeping an eye on the likes of Towers Perrin. Worked out real well for us, didn't it?
For your entertainment:
The piedmont pilots did indeed strike over the 3rd man on the 737
even though the DC-9 was flying at several other AIR LINES
with a 2 man crew. it was 1969 about the time the first man landed
on the moon.The piedmont pilots settled with the 3rd man on board
with the same total crew cost I think.
latter I thank it was Hawaiian flew the 737 with a 2 man crew and
the piedmont pilots singed a contract with the company for a
2 man crew.It's interesting that I was told that National at the
time did not sign the contract as they always had.
the old DC-3 guy's I flew with from piedmont told me this story.
Some of our guy's are 2nd generation here so if this is not the way it
went down feel free to correct me.And by the way I still miss
flying with some of these guy's
