I don't really know the details of the surviving TWA lawsuit. Even if it is about the money, negotiating seniority might be the only way that APFA could "pay up." I heard that with the loss of 6000+ dues paying members, the union is having financial problems already.MCI transplant said:<_< jimntx-----I don't want to confuse the issue, but isn't the TWA lawsuit about all about Money, not Senority? Or am we talking about the same Lawsuit? They win, you still keep your Senority, but Bankrupt your Union!!! If that happens, your vote won't matter much anyway!
The thing that still gripes me is the refusal by APFA of any help from the vastly more experienced negotiators from the TWA ranks in the RPA process. There were concessions the union could have made that would have resulted in NO flight attendants being furloughed. And no, I don't know what those concessions would have consisted of, but I've talked with f/a's that I know at other airlines and their response was "Oh yeah, there are all kinds of things you can do if your first priority is saving jobs. We do it all the time." Well, it seems obvious to me that saving jobs was not APFA's first priority.
