Training Ban?

[whistlingdixy]

Seems to me a lot of people are asking "why no training ban too?"

I have looked at the IFALPA letter to AOA and it definitely says:

1. Recuitment Ban
2. Training Ban.......... in accordance with Manual/Vol xxx

Whats is this?
Was it enacted by the AOA?

IFALPA cannot refuse a request from a member union, therfore this must have been requested by the AOA at some point?

I dont know the answer and have no axe to grind on this issue. Just looking for clarification.

No OTHER airlines can train CX Pilots.

and Sand dune, your point is ... ?

Pretty obvious surely?

obvious... what is obvious to me is:

1. there is no picket line (yet the memebers have decided to re-write the definition of scab to suit themselves)

2. no-one in the AOA is willing take a stand, expecting instead others (whom the have never met, nor will likely meet) to fight their battles

3. the members are not willing to place a ban on their own trianing system..... again poking big threatening sticks at other airlines, to do their bidding.

i do not disagree with the issue.... the 49ers were seen-off, morally, by the company. but you haven't any street credibility at all unless you are willing to fight your own battles too.

question? with 235 more non-union pilots joining (adding to the 375 current non-members) how does a union that represents only 65% of the pilot body stack up?
