US AIr
Don't forget about US Air and what they did to their own much less to the industry. In the 90's they furloughed over 300 pilots because the pilot group would not take a reduction in pay of two hours a month. Criminal!
This last round of concessions while US Air has over 2000 pilots on the street they voted to fly over 90 hours a month. Yes you read that right with 2000 pilots out of work the greedy bast@#$ are flying over 90 hours in a month.
They also voted to take away a retired pilots pension. The retired pilot had no vote in the matter but after working all is career and counting on his monthly check they took it away from him. Just for good measure they made him pay his medical now also. What a deal and the US Air pilots gave all of them this.
So when US Air says they are all about equality they can shove it where the sun don't shine. And let's remember how many other airlines voted to give up their pensions because of US Air. If ALPA had the ba#$@ and droped US AIr before this mess it would have been better for the industry without question. I know Duanye Worthless signed it but he should have had the foresight to stop the onslaught before it spread to other airlines. Now look what we got.
Jsut for good measure everyone knows you don't have to be that four letter word that is banned on this forum by just crossing a picket line. You can also be one by working for less than industry standard rates and also by taking someone elses job. US AIr qualifies under the terms on both accounts, no doubt. Get with the program Use Less Air.
Instead of worry about ALPA and what they did maybe you should be worrying about what you can do about the piece of !!!!te contract you are working under and work forward. ALPA is in the past. Start raising your standards now!
