ATNMEC closes pilot web board

[4day]

I am with ya!

 

[Bob_Sacamano]

Of course they shut it down. They don't want the AT FOs to talk about how damn near all of them got stapled. An Airtran First Officer will NEVER upgrade now.

 

[Lear70]

They couldn't win either way. Leave it open and all the people who can't just let the process run its course keep yapping away at each other. Close it and people see conspiracy theory.

It's the last part that's the problem. It doesn't matter that two of the reps accused of trying to kill the vote were two opposed, one who only reluctantly agreed to shut it down, it's still seen as a conspiracy.

People need to relax. The process is moving forward. The unrest doesn't help.

For the record, the AS MEC is shutting our board down and it's pretty much crickets in there. OTOH, I'm not positive, but think one of our pilots was fired for things he wrote in there.

My advice is to consider arbitration. Those arbitrators have no conflicts of interest, and only collect a fee. If you are worried about a negotiated settlement, you may want to consider that option. Godspeed!

and only collect a fee

and try to get as much work as they can.

Why do you keep repeating yourself? Can't you come up with anything new to say.

Rather than shut the whole thing down, couldn't they have suspended the offenders from posting for some amount of time?

 

[c9skytrain]

Count the number of different people who post on the AAI web board. Maybe 30. Out of 1700. More read it, but the readers are normal and just rolling their eyes.

 

[j41driver]

Some of the semi-regular posters are rolling their eyes too.

+1. Listen to those words of wisdom and get an arbitrated settlement.

Just tired of all the drama...

Couldn't have said it better.

When we have the final document to look at then they'll open the forum back up for debate. ... Wait for the facts, then debate. SWA AND AT guys will be slapping each other on the back and buying each other rounds before long. Relax.

Problem is some of us are getting the feeling that a few on our MEC have already decided that they are going to turn down the AIP. If they get their way, we are never going to see it, there will be no debate and we are not going to get a vote.

I trust the folks on the MC. I don't really trust my MEC.

They still need 5 of the voting reps to approve not sending it out, or a 4-4 tie in which case LH breaks the tie. The thing is, that since the ATL domicile is larger than MCO & MKE and since the ATL reps are getting advice from former mec and even former npa bod members, they know that if they so choose, they can institute a roll call vote and the ATL domicile reps would get all the votes and would get to make the decision.

Also, if the rumors are true about the MKE & MCO domiciles closing (The Airtran MCO domicile, not the SW MCO domicile), then councils 75 & 76 would cease to exist. Just some fyi.

and the rumor out there is that they are going to exercise roll call voting so they can "save us from our own stupidity".

This is far too important. We need to be given the opportunity to debate and vote on this.

 

[RIDETHELIGHTING]

Let's recall them now, since they don't want to listen to the pilot group.

Listen to which pilot group?
