Temporary Injunction against USAPA filed today

[AWE_SHUCKS]

Speaking of bs, old BS is awfully quiet since I asked him to show that "very specific way" that frozen is defined in the CBA... Maybe he's awaiting guidance from the mother ship...

Jimmie BoBo !!!

As a captain, did you write up every single discrepancy every single time or did you use your judgement and let some slide? are you too much of a hypocryte to answer? (rhetorical) you demand an answer from others but wont take a position on my writeup scenario because your damned if you answer either way. Its you own fault for preaching to others to do something you wouldnt do for youself... I asked around about you and talked to guys who flew with you, man what a drag you were... why take one of the most fun jobs around and turn it into work.... you were one of those guys whose only identity was "I am a Pilot" big deal ... now that your not, you desperately cling to the past, so pathetic... you are not a pilot ...YOU ARE NOT A PILOT... see, not so bad .... JIMMIE BOBO !!!!

Thanks for proving how full of bs you are...

Jim

ps - people who don't answer questions have no right to have their questions answered. You still haven't answered mine from a few weeks back so don't hold your breath on getting any answers.

pps - luv 9's - this place is better than any other entertainment and free to boot. Heck, it's worth hanging around to see what you and BS have to say when you lose the battles you're oh-so-confident of winning. Hope EAP is on speed dial and standing by...

As if you had to ask...

I've never been paid by ALPA to do anything. The one ALPA position I had - bid closing committee - was as a volunteer. So how much is USAPA paying you to post here?

Jim

So you worked a full month and closed the bids?

 

[BoeingBoy]

There was never a set amount of time required to close a bid. The one that had the big displacement in '91 and all the Kagel C&R's in effect took 6 weeks. For the last 8 years or so that I did it most took a day or two. But I know what you're getting at - FPL. The bid closing committee was the only committee where the company always paid FPL, not ALPA. So I stand on what I said - I have never been paid anything by ALPA. Not even a lousy t-shirt. I did get a magazine every month though.

In the military we had a term for what you are saying: quibbling. It's considered evasive, dishonest and unethical. No surprise there.

FPL is always paid by the company from the funds that the union sets aside to get essential services done by its members outside of flying airplanes. It is a fund the size of which is negotiated, and it is finite. Since those that receive FPL is completely determined by the union, it is in effect being paid by the union from a fund supplied by the company. You were paid because ALPA determined you were eligible to be paid. Quibbling.

At one point you say you were on the Bid Closing Committee as a volunteer, then you said the company paid FPL to be on the BCC. (Had you just not flown during that period and not done the BCC work, would you have been paid?) So, the reality is you were not a volunteer. You were "paid staff" while the BCC did its job. But here's the real question that will define your generous "volunteer" work. Would you have done it in your spare time for free while earning that paycheck flying the line? THAT would be a volunteer.

When I volunteered to be on the Hotel Committee, I had to fly to get paid. No fly; no pay. My work was volunteer, as it had to be done outside by job and done for free. That's volunteering.

While you're right to a degree - probably 1/4 to 1/3 of the times I attended a bid closing I missed trips and was paid by someone for those trips missed so not all was "volunteer". However, I took apollo's question to be about ALPA paid FPL since it followed his question about ALPA paying me to post here. So the answer to his question as I understood it was that ALPA didn't pay me, directly or indirectly, to attend the bid closings - the company paid FPL and was NOT reimbursed from ALPA funds set aside for such purposes. So from ALPA's perspective I was a true volunteer - my time cost them no FPL.

If you want to quibble and say I was being paid by someone so wasn't a true volunteer, then for about 1/4 to 1/3 of the bid closings you're right. That has nothing to do with apollo's question as I understood it however.

BTW, the reason the company paid FPL was because they set the bid closing schedule and thus the committee's schedule, not ALPA or the committee members. That's in contrast to the hotel committee (and most of the committees) which can agree among themselves when to do their committee work and thus can work around trips and incur no FPL. I guess the question is would anyone volunteer if they were told that they would do their work at times specified by the company and for continuous periods of up to 6 weeks long without pay? Look no further than the contract hotline for the answer. 3 or 4 volunteers could staff it on their off days, but instead you have 1 person paid to do it, and if what has been posted here is accurate that person makes more than I ever made - for answering questions every pilot should know the answer to - and you and the other pilots are paying for it.
