Re: Jetblue Pilots Association files cards with the NMB.....
You and I rarely agree, but you are right on this. Despite how anyone may feel about ALPA/TWA/USAIR relations, the animosity that a large portion of our pilot group feel towards ALPA would be a huge problem if we tried to get ALPA in. Personally, I like the idea of keeping it in house like SWA, UPS, AA (I think) do.
No there aren't. They'd get the help if they were trying to get ALPA on the property. But then, they know their constituancy. They know that all the furloughed USAir pilots on the top of the list blame ALPA for their furlough, not USAir where the blame belongs.
An independent union is probably best bet for B6 at this point. Sometime down the road, after the B6 guys figure out their not much better off, they'll come ask ALPA for a merger.
