For us Colgan pilots, if we elect ALPA what do you all think will be the first big change here at Colgan?? Just curious cause I am still not really sure what the union is going to do. Thanks!

Maybe not being stapled to Pinnacles list for one.
It's not illegal if that is what your negotiator (Management) negotiates for you, as far as I am aware, but Pinnacle MEC doesn't want to screw CJC guys over so they wouldn't go for it.That should be the last thing on your mind, it's illegal to staple regardless. You should want to vote in Alpa for you and your profession, don't worry about Pinnacle they are good guys and want to work with us.
What happens in the time period from voting in representation to having an agreed upon contract? It was my understanding that the current set of work/pay rules would be strictly enforced in the mean time. Is that correct? If its true, then its pretty obvious why BH wrote up a document outlining when you get what pay credits.
Also, after voting in representation (hopefully ALPA), if the CP calls you up to do a carpet dance, are you already allowed to call up ALPA and request someone come along even though you have no contract?

Ok?? Still don't really understand, I know that its good but...? I don't know I signed an ALPA card a few weeks ago not really knowing what it will do but from what everyone talks about it should be good! Ok I got a situation where I had a scheduled two day trip and the day before I look on crew trac and it was changed to reserve and a round trip to LCH and back. Scheduling told me it was for IOE guy or something, can they do that or is this a good, Union help me type of incident? Anyways hope we get it and don't get screwed anymore, I am ready for that!

They will still be able to do that with a union but you will be pay protected for the credit for the original trips. This is the way Colgan used to do it, have they stopped?
