Compass agreement

[Superpilot92]

So the Compass single list resolution failed at the MEC meeting.....Why? After all they only wanted a staple and the resolution only directed the MEC to "study" it....No reason for it to fail...unless the two-tiered level within ALPA is still alive and kicking....

I believe it passed at each base that it was presented at. (3 lecs from what i heard) Believe it or not, there is a significant push going on now.

*sigh* ... and Joe Merchant breaches the door, and hijacks another thread. Yaaaaaay!

Can any DAL guys confirm this? Seems like bad politics to me for an MEC to vote down a resolution that was passed by 3 out of 4 Local Councils.

Flyboyike isn't worried about "flowing up"....he is worried about you flowing back...

Exactly right.

It doesn't really matter what you or I think. Comair will not have a flow. I'm not even sure Comair will exist in a few years. If it is still here, I'm not sure you won't be furloughed in a few months anyway due to Comair cutbacks. You might not have a seat to offer for flow anyway.

I agree with you on all of that, especially Comair's existence. To my mind, though, that's all the more reason for me NOT to blindly surrender my seat (however secure or insecure it is) to flowback. IOW, I feel there is enough pressure on my job security without yet another threat.

Two different Delta pilots, who are reliable, have stated that the MEC did not pass it at their meeting last week.

I'm sorry...I thought this thread was about Compass and subsequently the resolution to staple Compass....What was I thinking?

Now you want a seat at the table at no charge. Forget it my man, you guys need to anti up.

As ALPA members in good standing, we've already paid for a seat at the table.

 

[N2264J]

Your group will agree to the flow or your group will lose flying.

Help me out here; when did ALPA whipsawing its own members start passing for unity?

At your MEC table and the national table, not our MEC table. Three different tables. And no Joe I don't want to start that discussion. It is what it is.
