We are in this position because of ALPA National's failures. They could've embraced the regionals, especially the vulnerable ones like Piedmont that had no future fleet plan, offered career support finding other positions. Coordinate merger agreements between wholly owned carriers. Mounted a Stop the Whipsaw type campaign. But instead they just sat back and let this 12/4 regional internship stuff become a trend.

I have seen the LOA 19 preamble and summary on the lounge, but is the PDT MEC giving any idea when the actual document will be made public? I'm assuming you guys will be voting on actual language and not a bullet point summary.

We were emailed the language last night, and no I'm not going to post it or email to you. I'm sure it will make it's way onto EL, and STW soon enough.

In solidarity with my NO vote, promise to quit at Eagle when I lose my job along with all of the other pilots, flight attendants and mechanics at Piedmont. That's essentially what you're asking Piedmont pilots to do by telling them to vote no.
Not trying to devalue the Eagle no vote but we are definitely in a different position than any other regional given this type of offer.
