5 days to go, then the fun starts.
Quote from the Angry AWA FO club newsletter to the Angry USAir FO club:
\
"We won/you lost" "They should get over it"--and so on just ain't going to "create the solidarity necessary" either.
Oh well.
At least twice I bet!!
New movie starts on Thursday. It's a first run premier. The opening showing starts at 1415 EDT.
The multiple endings will be available shortly after. Those endings are going to be controlled by Parker. Not the West or East. The new union will be the bargaining agent without a doubt. How Parker handles the temper tantrums of the less mature fellows will determine the ending. The East sought new representation because of the absurd policies and practices of ALPA. They are the majority and they will prevail. How the minority who think they won the lottery and deserve to benefit from those policies and practices react after the election will determine their fate.
Parker isn't going to allow this company to fail because of an election of a new union. He will determine how to best solve the problem. And one only has to look to the parts of the company where the money is made for clues to how he will handle it.

Pilot says;
"YOU are invited to join a new labor organization."
"You Vill Come."
"You Vill Like it."
Typical east negotiation technique.
"Here are our terms. There will no negotiations. Your only option is to acquiesce. WE WILL YELL LOUDLY UNTIL YOU EITHER SURRENDER OR PRAY FOR DEATH. WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!
Is is a pleasure to be so closely associated with such a group of "professionals."
I understand emotions are high on the east after suffering years of stagnation and furloughs. Bradford epitomizes what the USAir pilot has become: a scraggly-haired, head full of gray with sunken eyes and drooping shoulders wearing three measly stripes. Who couldn't feel sorry for such a fellow? USAir has been a disaster for you guys.
Unfortunately for you, reality trumps fantasy, the law trumps emotion. On Thursday USAPA will be lucky to get half of the east pilots' vote. Time tempers all emotion, good and bad. Following Thursday, the healing may begin with your pilot group. I look forward to the day we are all marching in step as a unified group.
