Heard nothing

I live in Wisconsin and am originally from North/Central WI and haven't heard a thing about it. Can't say I've seen anything in the news or in the papers and I've looked.

What I do know is that airport has way to many names. When you fly in there and make radio calls your not even sure what to say. It has the names of 3 nearby cities and 2 different names for the field itself.

"Lakeland Airport/Noble F. Lee Field at Minocqua/Woodruff/Arbor Vitae traffic, this is Shuttle Endeavor 55 miles to the South at FL650 inbound on final for runway 36 at Lakeland Airport/Noble F. Lee Field, Minocqua/Woodruff/Arbor Vitae traffic." How did that sound? :rolleyes:
 
How does the union help

The Union has a safety committee. Members assigned to this committee will work with accident investigators to help determine the cause of the accident. Any info learned about the accident will prompt the safety committee to make suggestions to the company and to the Union on any changes that may be necessary in safety policy, which could include crew rest, fatigue, bad weather minimums, or other policies that pilots must deal with when coming into bad-weather, small airports like we do every day.

Also, these pilots will have legal representation from the Union - no "dial-a-lawyer AOPA lawyer" who has a very limited scope of what they'll do - the IBT's lawyers will be with them throughout any legal processes... this includes should the FAA go after the pilots for any violations.

Not to mention, should the company want to take any disciplinary action on the pilots involved, they will have to go through the Union to get it done.


If you hurt an airplane, you better hope to be union.
