Some of the semi-regular posters are rolling their eyes too.

My advice is to consider arbitration. Those arbitrators have no conflicts of interest, and only collect a fee. If you are worried about a negotiated settlement, you may want to consider that option. Godspeed!

+1. Listen to those words of wisdom and get an arbitrated settlement.

When we have the final document to look at then they'll open the forum back up for debate. ... Wait for the facts, then debate. SWA AND AT guys will be slapping each other on the back and buying each other rounds before long. Relax.

Problem is some of us are getting the feeling that a few on our MEC have already decided that they are going to turn down the AIP. If they get their way, we are never going to see it, there will be no debate and we are not going to get a vote.

I trust the folks on the MC. I don't really trust my MEC.

They still need 5 of the voting reps to approve not sending it out, or a 4-4 tie in which case LH breaks the tie. The thing is, that since the ATL domicile is larger than MCO & MKE and since the ATL reps are getting advice from former mec and even former npa bod members, they know that if they so choose, they can institute a roll call vote and the ATL domicile reps would get all the votes and would get to make the decision.

Also, if the rumors are true about the MKE & MCO domiciles closing (The Airtran MCO domicile, not the SW MCO domicile), then councils 75 & 76 would cease to exist. Just some fyi.

and the rumor out there is that they are going to exercise roll call voting so they can "save us from our own stupidity".

This is far too important. We need to be given the opportunity to debate and vote on this.

Let's recall them now, since they don't want to listen to the pilot group.

Listen to which pilot group?

 

[RIDETHELIGHTING]

The majority!!! And the marjority will either vote it in or out. This isn't a dictatorship.

 

[XRMEFLYER]

Not to split hairs but wouldn't it be more like an oligarchy?

 

[RIDETHELIGHTING]

Ok. But u get the point.

If you want to call a recall now, all you have to do is petition the LEC Chairman in writing for a special LEC meeting at the earliest convenience with the recall of _______ as the main agenda item.

It will take 4-6 weeks for them to call a meeting (they have to give the pilots enough notice to bid around it if they want to attend). Then you have to get enough of your like-minded constituents to show up in order to pass it at the LEC meeting. Then it goes to vote.

Voting takes another week to set up and runs 2-3 weeks. Once that rep is removed the other reps vote their roll call vote. If it still doesn't go the way you want, repeat process.

In the meantime, it takes about a month to run nominations and elections for a replacement rep.

I don't think you can get it done in time to affect this...

I can't imagine the powder keg of anger that would explode if this is blocked by the MEC.
