Doesn't ALPA owe TWA pilots a bunch of money?

No worries, they'll borrow from Jblue pilots pre-401k dues to pay TWA. Lee M. probably gags on a piece of his filet at the mention of TWA. I hope he buys me a sandwich during our next card drive.

Just another reason ALPA is taking dues prior to 401k. Worse than the government.

And I agree Pinacle/Comair vs JetBlue is apples to oranges but it does show how much Alpa supports airlines it doesn't care about. Anyone really think it will care about a a pilot group the size of JetBlue if It really hits the Fan?

It's called business and business is cruel. In my tenure at JetBlue I have heard our own pilots flirt with the very same fantasy. First it was US, then UAL, the NWA, DL, and finally AA.

I mean just read this forum and see how Pro Alpa guys treat JetBlue pilots. These yahoos even argue with people that agree with them. Not good

Really. During the ALPA campaign I personally witnessed the anti-ALPA crowd yell, lie, turn their fellow pilots into the CP office. There is plenty of vitriol to go around.

You know there has been no financial judgement. Any award will pennies on the dollar as it should be.

I'm definitely not for turning against fellow pilots unless its something way out in right field
