Our strength to counter industry threats just improved with the addition of the 2600 JetBlue pilot group.<br /><br />How they interact with their management is their choice, and their choice alone. ALPA resources will simply support them on the path they choose.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9133703253863123050.post-70063019628486352052014-04-24T20:41:23.955-04:002014-04-24T20:41:23.955-04:00As an alpa member for 35 years practically everyth...As an alpa member for 35 years practically everything you said was wrong. I am not a lawyer and neither is Lee Moak. Most of the pilots at my airline volunteer. We negotiate with management not Alpa. Alpa is made up of pilots. We do have lawyers that help us with all sorts of things including contracts. Nobody forced me to join a union. I wanted to. Jet Blue turned down the union twice, now they realized a legal binding contract is a better way to go. People like you can drink all the kool aid you want.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9133703253863123050.post-28079014068208534482014-04-24T09:17:13.590-04:002014-04-24T09:17:13.590-04:00We have to remember that ALPA is a business, just ...We have to remember that ALPA is a business, just like a law firm (in fact it is a law firm) that represents (sic) its clients for a fee. Since it is a business it's about money, power and influence. If it weren't, the TWA pilots would not have received a settlement of millions and millions of dollars from ALPA for failure to represent them. Back room deals are not about doing the right thing. However, JetBlue dues money will go a long way to replenishing their bank account.<br /><br />Like most statesmen (politicians) their rhetoric changes after the election. How long before Moak's respect of the JetBlue's executive team fades. As the JetBlue pilots move from negotiation to ratification to enforcement of a new contract the quote from Moak, "We have the utmost respect for JetBlue's executive team and JetBlue's culture and enterprise going forward. We're going to work very well together and we are looking forward to it." will probably be the last time ALPA has anything nice to say about their management.<br /><br />JetBlue pilots have had a relatively peaceful relationship with their management. However, they have just invited their "mother in law" to come and live with them. I'm sure her advice and opinions will only help to strengthen that relationship.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9133703253863123050.post-23152684421883386552014-04-23T14:51:08.325-04:002014-04-23T14:51:08.325-04:00Cost of MH 370 search tops USD $100m
