ALPA/management scam
|
|
|
|
The latest secret deal between ALPA and management to discriminate against certain American Eagle pilots and force them to involuntary leave the airline or be terminated has been agreed to by both parties to foment a hostile work environment at American Eagle Airlines.
ALPA and management are acting with intentional malice and are relying on the naïveté of the pilots, the future victims of discrimination, to legitimize this so-called "hardship policy" scam.
Do not be fooled.
Do not participate in this ALPA/management scam.
Flow-Through pilots are entitled to transfer to AA.
Flow-Through pilots have the right to transfer to AA
Flow-Through pilots cannot be coerced, forced, threatened or intimidated to transfer to AA.
The entitlement and/or right to transfer to AA belong to the pilot, not ALPA or management.
Reference the legal definition of entitled and/or rights.
A pilot may claim the entitlement or right, or the pilot my not act on the entitlement or right. It is the pilot's prerogative.
If any pilot submits a "hardship" request, they are legitimizing and validating the ALPA/management "hardship" scam and agreeing that they are obligated to transfer to AA but now wish to not transfer, hence the "hardship" request.
Do not participate. The collusion between ALPA and management to sucker pilots into agreeing to the non-contractual "hardship" parameters is illegal.
The mechanism to transfer pilots between American Eagle Airlines and American Airlines was Letter 3/Supplement W. The agreement has terminated and is null, void and of no further force or effect. The only surviving provisions are those awarded by Arbitrators Bloch, LaRocco and Nicolau.
Only Arbitrator Nicolau still has jurisdiction over Letter 3. No other arbitrator has - or will have - jurisdiction to unilaterally "interpret" what Letter 3 may - or may not - have meant BEFORE it terminated.
The "hardship" provisions described in Letter 3/Supplement W.III.F were to allow a pilot to forfeit the "opportunity" to transfer to AA and to obtain "Eagle Rights" protection.
Nothing more!
The right or entitlement to transfer or not to transfer to AA was not embodied in the "hardship" provisions.
Do not allow ALPA and management to sucker you into believing that to remain employed at American Eagle Airlines you are required to do so under a "hardship" award.
ALPA is not your employer and therefore cannot terminate your employment, and management cannot terminate your employment without just cause.
Because a pilot chooses not to transfer to AA is not just cause for termination.
If you apply for a "hardship" under the ALPA/management scam, you are agreeing that ALPA can terminate you and/or that management can terminate you if you cannot prove "hardship".
Do not participate in this ALPA/management scam.
Do not apply for a "hardship".
