ASA union recall

[Stifler's Mom]

There has to be a 3-hour sit on that day for you. Maybe you can run over and vote then?

Matters such as this should be decided by more than those that can be in attendance.

This should go out by mail or email for all to vote. I am as sick of these antics as the next guy. Aside from AeroMedical and Legal services from National, local ALPA representation has been seriously lacking. If your looking for reasons to vote out ALPA in general they come daily. This LEC and MEC seem less helpful than the CP's. I never thought I'd say that, but I believe it. They are hiding an agenda. Most likely personal.

I am not all that opposed to the 6hr/day ALPA pay, but damn it, we aren't getting our money's worth. If it becomes a press release worthy event for our overweight, lazy MEC chair to waddle himself over to the crew lounge for a once a term visit, then he needs to go too! He needs to park his azz in the crew lounge for a couple of hours every week and on different days.

On a serious note,
1) what happens if we recall the four?

2)Does that prompt a new election?

3)Timeline for that to happen?

4) When will new LEC be able to elect new MEC?

You can vote by proxy. contact Will Faruzzi and he will get you the info. You can get him on company email or look him up on facebook.

For all of you who continually bash the union. here is a chance to participate. if you are dissatisfied, take time to vote. If enough people get behind this, maybe it will send the message that we actually expect something (other than pizza) for our dues.

Do you vote the lec out and then they start another election process?

 

[resetjet]

Can somebody please educate me on the reasons behind a recall? Are there specific details or just a general feeling of misrepresentation?

I think the way it works is, if you vote out the current LEC, you automatically are appointing WF as chairman.

Say what you will about him, but you can't deny that he's a passionate pilot advocate and straight-shooter. And frankly, he's more intelligent than some of the guys we have right now.

I'd rather have a commuting Captain who has spent years on reserve as Chairman, than the current crop of desk-drivers who sign MOU's all day and say things like "when you're on reserve, the company 'owns' you" and "reserve pilots aren't a priority." His personality is the type we need when dealing with this management group.

Yeah.. You right

The members in good standing at the meeting may get to vote on a motion to recall. If it passes by simple majority, a ballot to recall will be sent out to all pilots in good standing in that council. If they are recalled, an interim rep is appointed by the MEC until a permanent one can finish the term after being elected by the members in good standing of said council.

The Palm will be going to the meeting in combat fatigues and his entrance may or may not include a tactical combat roll with flash bangs and tear gas. Just some stuff he learned courtesy of your tax $$$.

 

[Plainsman]

Better that than Leotards and tights!

 

[Sherpa]

Wow, Arab Spring has reached the ATL. So after you oust your LEC then what? Vote in some fresh talent to get spooled up in the middle of a merger and negotiations? Must be pretty bad. Isn't Will in DTW now anyway? This has cluster ******************** written all over it.
