Re: Time to end this circus: Claude has to go

As a guy that saw how ACPA tried to cling on to its corruption ring, this is a huge red flag. I don't know details of this Jazz fiasco, but when there is smoke... This is exactly the tactic they tried to control the desire for change...by threats with harassment & defamation. This is a classic move...

Re: Grievance update for the 285ish former Jazz pilots affected by Flow

This is all so sad. Jazz gave away their biggest hammer -> job action. Job action is the core of union strength & leverage. You sign a 20 yrs deal which is absolutely insane. You gave away your greatest tool, possibly forever. Now you are relying on lawyers, who aren't even unionized themselves gene...

Re: Does ALPA expel pilot groups that lower the bar?

Ripple,

Proton is an AC pilot who loves Jalmer, doesn't believe pilots are getting greencards, thinks we are going to arbitration and was skeptical of ALPA

Apparently he is now skeptical of your skepticism of this deal from ALPA.

Serious question. So the BOD told management that the priority was to “ protect the summer.” Makes sense. So my question is, would it be possible for us to go on strike in June when we have the most financial leverage? My read of this mediation is the earliest we could strike is Aug. Is this the ca...

Is the ACPA Motto: "We will get'em next time" gone?

Just read the latest message from the MEC and it seems finally we have a pilot leadership team that isn't into the mantra: "We will get'em next time" Being forced into an impasse would have compressed negotiations and would have made it extremely tough to negotiate a comprehensive deal. It would hav...
