Airtran MEC voted no

[scoreboardII]

Sounds like there was a little bit of a communication breakdown for sure.

Little? This is epic, history books will note this moment, or at least a footnote on Wiki.

Lear, I won't go off on you buddy, but if this description of what happened doesn't fit the definition of negligence, I don't know what would.

How can your side expect us to negotiate further when they clearly have a dysfunctional process, no real idea what they want, no way to get it?

I'm wondering why it took 2 weeks to do all the prep work for the MEC meeting if the MEC chairman knew the major issues with his status reps.

It doesn't add up.

Your MEC would not even let you vote on the AIP, they knew better...AAI ALPA has escalated the situation and divided the groups...nice work...

All I can say is I will not under any circumstance bring a bad attitude over there.

The bad attitude is in the delay ALPA has brought. AND it's subsequent effect on ALL employee groups. I actually think our FAs are more pissed than we are at your MEC. 4 mechanics, 6 ops agents, and 2 provisioners have come in and mentioned to me how they feel about your decision- they don't feel great about you.
Many of you have said similar words- but you're choosing ALPA and all their conflicts of interest over swa. But actions speak louder than words.
You should have realized that you all needed to sell yourselves from day 1
Instead you have negotiated.

It sucks that you guys were held hostage by such a small group of guys. I personally did not care for SL9 but for you not to have a chance at voting on it was very poor form. Even if the MEC sent it out with a NO recommendation I would respect the decision. Unfortunately, just like when dealing with foreign countries, the leadership guides the relationship. On a side note, I seem to have developed a craving for some ice cream....weird.

That's kinda what I was trying to say a few days ago, but of course nobody believed me. The rest of the SW employees have been watching and making their own opinion to how this has turned out, and it hasn't been favorable.

[redflyer65]

The AirTran ALPA MEC has spoken.

7-1 to reject this lopsided AIP. That's leadership. Good job guys!!

Next stop - Federal Mediation.

Interesting flashback.

We won't judge you dude, don't ask don't tell, It's been legalized here in many states. Like Seinfeld said, not that there's anything wrong with that.

You don't need to hide in Canada anymore.

Surely you've never been to Canada, and the "Ballet".

This development can only mean BETTER seniority for the AT pilots. A staple won't happen, and Redflyer may end up in the bottom 300. Then he and I will have similar relative seniority at our respective airlines, until we continue huge retirements and they unfortunately stagnate. At least we'll be about the same for a few months! The bottom RULES Redflyer! Godspeed!

Another classic post from the General/OYS gone awry.

Thanks for the advice. Not anywhere close to the bottom 300 though.

Is that the same as going to one of those Canadian establishments to observe "native folk dancing"?
