Not sure. . .but why don't you contact them personally?
Or run into a couple of them in your crew lounge, out on the line, at an overnight, etc.Because I would have to contact about 20 people, many of whom I do not have their numbers.
I appreciate the response, there's no doubt that alpa will be better than nothing. However, did you ever work at a teamsters carrier?I was at CJC.
I'm at an ALPA carrier now.
CJC needs ALPA in the worst way.
Believe me.
Does it mean nothing to you that people who are currently at IBT carriers are commenting to STAY AWAY from IBT?I appreciate the response, there's no doubt that alpa will be better than nothing. However, did you ever work at a teamsters carrier?
The reason I started this thread, is because I talk to WAY to many people that fly or have flown with alpa that say STAY AWAY. One guy even called alpa the devil.
I do not hear similar things about teamsters. I talked to a cjc capt. that had been at a teamsters carrier, and he wants teamsters. That speaks volumes to me.
That may be the case, but I have not met any.Does it mean nothing to you that people who are currently at IBT carriers are commenting to STAY AWAY from IBT?
They cite:
the lack of support
threats from their own union
the fact they have been recently decertified by NetJets
the negative issues going on at RAH at the moment
etc.....
The decision is easy for you. Choose ALPA. We're not the same situation as USAir and AWA. Why, oh why, do you really think that having a different union represent you will be good? Our flight attendants (and yours) are already screwed because they have a non-aviation-relatedThat may be the case, but I have not met any.
Does it mean nothing to you that US Air recently decertified Alpa?
That we are dealing with the same issue as us air with conflict of interest?
Yes, all things equal Alpa might be okay, but given the circumstances (with pinnacle having alpa) the decision is easy for me.
I am not a big fan of ALPA ( I think they are to weak and put to much power in the hands of MEC's). Having said that, ALPA is the best way to go for just about every airline out there. All the extra stuff you get with ALPA is worth the higher dues.That may be the case, but I have not met any.

Unfortunately all the questions you asked have been answered my times over and its just beyond my patience to go through and copy and paste all of it. As an ex-CJC'er I'm simply asking you to vote ALPA.That may be the case, but I have not met any.

I'm guessing your in the 1900... cause thats the only one we've got with 9 rows.Does anyone know if anyone on the committee has ever worked for a carrier that had alpa?
We have a COMPLETELY different situation than AAA and AWA. That debacle has been covered ad nauseam and I just am not going to go through it now. Do some research on the topic and get back to me on how you think it'll be remotely similar.That may be the case, but I have not met any.

Did your dues almost feel like putting money into a 401k, that you knew you were never getting anything out of? We actually had a fountain out front. would have rather tossed that 1.55% in there- and mostly more good would have come from itAlso, I've worked for an IBT company in the past as well. No desire to ever do so again.
