"The pilots at Hawaiin didn't buy the ALPA national scare tactics, and voted down the TA. NWA pilots and Delta pilots succumbed to the scare tactics and voted in their first TA's."
That's a factless opinion.

Here's the part where you lied:
I've never advocated any such thing. Not repeatedly, not ever. You're lying about it.
You're lying again. If you had found such posts, you would prove me wrong. The posts don't exist. That's why I say that you've lied about this.

No, I'm saying that your post was a factless opinion. Carl you wrote; stated,
"The pilots at Hawaiin didn't buy the ALPA national scare tactics, and voted down the TA. NWA pilots and Delta pilots succumbed to the scare tactics and voted in their first TA's."
That's a factless opinion.

That's a factless opinion.
The pilots at Hawaiian voted down their first TA in the bk process, and voted for the second TA which included better provisions than the first.
The pilots at NWA/DAL voted for their first TA in the bk process.

You're just flat out wrong here...don't know how else to say it. To diminish ALPA national's role in ALL matters local and national is to show your ignorance of how our union works. I don't mean ignorant as an insult, just that you have not yet seen the underbelly yet.
Who writes their paychecks? And when you can answer that, you'll know who the attorneys and staffers work for.
Tell ALPA that you intend to go out and hire outside professional negotiators for your next negotiation. The reason ALPA is involved is to ensure that Association goals are not derailed in your negotiations.

There is some opinion in there to be sure, so I'll strip out all the opinion and just leave the facts:
The pilots at Hawaiian voted down their first TA in the bk process, and voted for the second TA which included better provisions than the first.
The pilots at NWA/DAL voted for their first TA in the bk process.

And why is that National's fault?

If you would lower your self importance for a moment, you would know that I do NOT dodge questions. I'm only one line puke that gets bombarded by every ALPA apologist out there like you that posts as soon as you get your latest talking points from ALPA. Sometimes I miss an occasional question due to the volume. When I do remember to answer everything, the apologists like you come on and say that I post too much.

I don't think anyone would want to make this argument with the NMB. A contract is not considered legal unless signed by ALPA. The MEC's or Negotiating Committees signatures are not binding. This is why some contracts are delayed, because there are sometimes issues that need to have the language massaged and the leverage is the refusal of ALPA to sign off until it's done.
If you are still unsure, call the NMB and ask them if your MEC is your legally recognized bargaining agent.
Consultants? Yes. The Wilson Center is an excellent example of a very good outside group.
Professional negotiators? No. That's not to say ALPA does not have professional negotiators; they do and they do a fine job. They also face pressure from their bosses to get the job done and keep the cost down.

Many MECs involve outside consultants in their negotiations. Never been a problem, although I personally think that it's usually a waste of money.

If you're going to post here acl, you've got to pay attention. Stay off those ALPA talking points for a moment and try to remember the different conversations going on here. To wit:
ALPA apologists here were talking about what a great job everyone did during bankruptcy, and how everyone had no choice during the 1113C process. Someone else posted that it wasn't true and that Hawaiian pilots showed how you could turn down the first TA in the bk process, and get a much better deal with the second TA. ALPA apologists came on and told me that it was just my factless opinion. I stripped out all opinion and just stated the facts that Hawaiian pilots turned down their first TA, and accepted the second TA which contained much better language. NWA and DAL pilots accepted their first TA's.
Nowhere did I say or infer that any of that was ALPA national's fault.
