Just saying that just because some in house unions don't work doesn't mean they all suck.
Of course, not sure anyone made that connection though.
Just merely one guy, Seggy, providing an example.

I liken this to the 200-hour wonder argument.
Someone gets schooled up on a subject, interacts with it for 12-18 months and they are experts. The people of varied walks of life with more experience under the system are suddenly dumbasses.
Experience allows practical application of knowledge.
Seggy: What I am trying to pick apart is why ALPA is so much better in many minds then the IBT? It just feels a lot of the arguments that ALPA supporters use are then contradicted on another issue. Just brainstorming idea's not trying to preach to the professor's on this one.
The resources ALPA offers to the pilot groups are second to none.

However QoL, Work Rules, & Pay Blows.
It would also be nice to see IBT at the CFI random 91 level which I don't really see ALPA touching. I could be seriously wrong.
How could the IBT fix this?
So what are you going to do sit around or try to make it better? How could the IBT fix this?
Understood.
And again this is someone from the outside looking in, ALPA seems to have very good resources. Many of you have said this and it seems like really reliable second hand information.
However QoL, Work Rules, & Pay Blows.
It seems as if a single unionized work force would help the effort. It just seems that all airlines going one way or the other would be next to impossible unless ALPA was absorbed. Crazy as it may sound I'm just brainstorming whether it makes sense or not. It would also be nice to see IBT at the CFI random 91 level which I don't really see ALPA touching.

I think that how the Colgan contract ends up will show the potential difference that ALPA can make. One way or another.
You can talk all you want, but results speak much louder.
*I'm not against ALPA I just don't agree in blanket statements saying that you're much better off with ALPA representation than someone else. That is clearly not the case.

But you are better with ALPA resources then without them.
James maybe you should call ALPA and see if you can set up a tour of the HQ I think it will open your eyes.
