I believe the pent up anger of some of our colleagues needs to stop once and for all. It's not healthy. I understand that life is an equal opportunity “dissapointer.” Furthermore, I recognize whenever we don’t receive what we think is fair, or just, we get angrier causing us to lash out. The feeling that the world's or US Airways' "injustice done to us" is greatly contributing to us not finding solutions to our problems. We continue to elect to union office people who were former ALPA leaders that have failed to produce in the past and they say what we want to hear, which keeps hurting us over-and-over again. It's time for us to have union leaders who tell us the truth, regardless if its what we want to hear or not, so effective solutions to our problems can be found.
With energy prices rising, global economic instability, the ever present risk of airline terrorism, and potential natural disasters on the horizon, etc., some of our pilots are further placing our company and futures at risk.
USAPA has failed to deliver on one campaign promise and we are economically worse off today than before. There is no quick resolution to our problems, no new contract in sight, and we work for the most vulnerable legacy airline in the country. When would now be good time for us to encourage others to stop this destructive behavior?
