Stop focusing on only the issues..... focus on team building... Sounds to touchy feely?
Actually, yes it does. Hard to focus on "team building", when we are on different teams. Is there much "team building" going on between the Bears and the Colts this week?

Lewshun said:Yet we crash jets today not becuase the engines fail but because we can't get along and play well with others... same with ALPA affairs... too many MEC's treat each other as suspect.. no trust, little respect... change that and we can do much better... I am not saying we have to agree, but we can't be going after each other either....
That's because we are on different TEAMS - plain and simple.
Rez O. Lewshun said:At major city domiciles where there are multiple ALPA councils they are rarely in the same building... MSP does it right... MEM does it wrong. Every city that has multiple domicles could have one ALPA office location. It is cheaper on the 2% dues and the MEC's can actually meet and talk to each other. One is much more likely to work together with another if they know each other.
How is it in ATL? DAL and ASA share the same office building?
I'm not interested in what building they are in, but rather how their scope affects me and if I have a say in it. During the PID, our MEC office was in the same suite as the Council 44 office - same break room and same secretary. Didn't help.
Come on Rez., sharing offices and wearing our hats during informational picketing isn't going to get it done. It's going to take a lot more than that.....
