Just curious.. do you actually negotiate for your salary at a non-union carrier or do you get what management is willing to pay.. The rest of your diatribe is just that....

With a union like ALPA, management does not need scabs.

The pilots at Allegiant got a very large raise last year after our in house advisory group negotiated with management. Did management just give us that raise out of goodwill? Would they have done it on their own?

That is a great question. Did they give it to you out of goodwill...? A better question is whether they will take it from you if times get tough. Question for you: Was Allegiant making money when you negotiated this raise? Since you are an "advisory" group, how seriously do you really think that management takes your input? You cannot really threaten a strike, so why would management give you a payraise if they are not making money. I digress though.. my post was more aimed at the other guy that said he could negotiate his own pay scale.. I just wonder how HE does that...

Let's see, I have done plenty of research, been an ALPA member, was involved with the local, and now I am no longer a part of a union and get to negotiate my own pay and benefits like an adult should be able to do. So maybe it is you who is spouting off thinking you are informed on both sides.

Far be it for me to defend alpa national, but they do not negotiate contracts...
