Imminent Strike at G4

Unless you're on K Street talking to them, then you don't know what warnings they've given. I've spent a lot of time there. The closed doors meetings are not fun.

Fair enough. Either way, to be continued. A guy mentioned on the other forums that he waited over an hour to cancel his tickets over the phone, I'd love to be a fly on the wall at LAS headquarters right now.

This has not done anything other than create deeper divides between the pilot and mgmt groups if I had to guess. This reminds me so much of the circus that was the IBT747.

The problem is that it's all an organizing game. The IBT pushes this crap because they want to look tough. The goal is to go around to small airline labor groups and tell them that they should join the IBT because they're tougher than ALPA, the IAM, and the AFA. So they pull these kinds of stunts. AMFA used to do the same kind of crap. The result is that the members that they actually represent get screwed, but they don't care, because they're more concerned with growing the IBT. When you don't actually provide your members with any meaningful services or infrastructure, then growth means more dues revenue, even if the growth is small labor groups that other unions would represent at a loss.

Just another data point.


I worked with him when he was helping at World Airways. I found him to be knowledgeable and he seemed to care about the employee groups (pilots and F/A).

I met with him when we were an independent union and meeting with various options for representation. He showed up with Dave Bourne, and they were less than impressive. It was pretty obvious to them that we weren't thrilled with their presentation by the time they left, so they immediately sent out a press release insulting our pilot group.

As I said, sleazy. And unprofessional.
