200k for each count, 1.8M total per person!

 

[Whine Lover]

Yep.

1.8 mil x 1700 or so would be a fair number....And, I believe it should be levied against the Lives and Estates , in perpetuity, against the Airtran MEC members that allowed this to occur.

I have seen it time and again...Collectively the MEC thinks it knows everything, and then proceeds to foul things up ( Lack of DFR ) , when ALL they needed to do was put it to the membership for a vote.

I hope, in this case, some precedent is set that sends a message loud and clear..." Members of the MEC's, you are just another line pilot. Check your ego and let the people have their say. "

Simple.

Most Airtran Pilot's would have been smart enough to take Mr. Kelly's first offer. Which would have worked for all...( Can you imagine the look on his face when these geniuses turned it down without so much as a membership poll/vote ? )

These few individuals of the Airtran ALPA MEC 'Effed it all up...for ALL parties concerned.

Payment is due. Not only to Airtran pilots, but to SWA as a whole.

I think Mr. Kelly should testify in favor of the Plaintiffs and against each individual of the MEC that allowed this to happen.

I have to go now...I have bricks to throw off an overpass, and a few fires to start.

Discuss.

 

[tzskipper]

Not worth it.

 

[On Your Six]

Does it say anywhere that the MEC was allowed to vote without your consent? In the bylaws? Does it say somewhere that the membership was supposed to have a vote? If it does, that isn't good for the union.


Godspeed!

You have to pay to be part of this lawsuit. They want $500 down and $50 a month indefinitely until this thing is settled. It is not a class action lawsuit. If you think it is a worth while cause then by all means join in. I am still not sure how I feel about this.

 

[Whine Lover]

P.S. - I collect garbage for a living, have little to no vested interest in this, and will realize no gain or loss either way..

It's just about Right and Wrong and schooling Morons....Who really can't be trained, now can they?

I love exercises in futility....For futility's sake.

I liked the quotes about how those within the LEC tried to stear the discussion on the first vote. Very interesting. Not sure if it gets traction, but still interesting.

It's Alpa's fault Gary Kelly played chicken with an armored car and the AirTran pilots were on a tricycle?

These guys don't represent a majority.....just themselves.

NO. NOT ALPA.

...The Members of the given MEC.

In this Case...Airtran's.

As usual, sadly enough.

Fnck Them...

 

[BlueBlood]

Holy crap! Ortschied, Chilla, Janning and others are friggin famous. That is some stupid stuff there, bros. what harm is there in a vote. If the pilots approve, it's on their hands. If they reject, it's still on their hands and their mandate that more be done or they prefer another route.

Nice work old ATN MEC! Well, done and good way to hose your pilots that put you there to REPRESENT them.

I hope those guys win the suit...with all damages.

Anthony Chilla bought his wife a set of "fun bags" for Christmas about 12-13 years ago. When I was told of his Christmas present, I asked him if he labeled the tag on the present...

To: Anthony
From: Anthony

Chilla actually isnt a bad guy....

 

[Whine Lover]

Individually they are probably all pretty decent guys who you'd like to fly and have a beer with.

Collectively, however, they pulled a boner...and then stepped on it.

Ouch.

My point exactly.

How simple is that ?

 

[tzskipper]

Keeping in mind that a signed "Process Agreement" existed at the time in question, would the MEC have truly "represented" the pilot group by simply passing along the company offer for a vote? It appears that maybe the MEC was planning to actually utilize the resources and framework that all four parties had initially agreed to. Whether the pilot group was properly represented is an arguable point.

Hindsight is always 20/20, but it appears that the mistake that the MEC made was trusting SW management to keep their word by following the agreement that they signed. How management gets a free pass is beyond me.

Nothing was done outside of the Process Agreement.

Nothing was done outside of the Process Agreement.

With all due respect, how would you define the rumored conversation between the mec and Herb/Colleen? If the veiled threat of no integration unless acceptance of the last offer is true, do you consider that type of negotiation as a legitimate part of the agreement?
