It only takes one Compass pilot to file a DFR lawsuit, and this one would be a slam dunk since the Compass pilots don't even have a vote on their MEC.

The "lifers" at the regionals are a minority...However it is a minority that you are going to have to deal with...

Taking advice from you on lawsuits is like taking advice on peace from the Taliban. Now back to your regularly scheduled------->:crying::crying::crying:
 
I don't think there is a lifetime opportunity at a shell company like Compass. Compass doesn't own anything. They operate someone else's airplanes with contract maintenance in offices owned by someone else. Good luck to anyone who decides to stay.

Same could have been said about Republic at one time....Never say never...The rules are changing as the tail starts to wag the dog...
 
You mean the one hand picked my the DAL MEC?


Vetted by the DAL MEC, and elected by all the LEC reps (including the NWA guys who want us in the MEC). There seems to be some misunderstanding that he was simply appointed by decree.

The previous coordinator was given the job, for she was the only person interested in the job.

But yes, the very same person... and no, I am not him.

Did the Compass pilots vote? Does he have a vote on the Delta MEC?
 
Then this is a DFR lawsuit just waiting to happen....You can't represent pilots without giving them a say...

Maybe I don't understand ALPA properly, but here is my take.

A single Compass pilot has the same say as a single Delta pilot. A Compass pilot is part of a LEC and his LEC reps hold a vote on the MEC. In a memrat vote, a Compass pilot casts a vote (although the Delta MEC doesn't seem to offer things for member rat very often :))

1. The Compass pilots didn't get to vote for their rep on the DAL MEC. He was "appointed" by the NWA MEC.

2. The Compass rep on the DAL MEC doesn't get a vote.

3. They should have 2 voting members of the MEC....Instead they have 1 non voting appointed member.

Just the fact that such a landmark decision regarding the Compass pilot group could be made by pilots that were not employed at Compass should be reason enough for people to realize they need their own representation. It seems to me that the north councils voted to keep Compass in mostly to retain the vote count so they could be more influential on new DAL MEC.

Compass has 6 LEC members, an FO and CA rep for DTW, MEM, and MSP. We vote for our elected reps just like every other former NWA pilot in those bases. The position you are talking about is a 'coordinator' position. It's not an elected position because we already have elected representatives.
