I was gonna post this in the USAir ALPA Decert thread but I figured why not start a new thread.
I'm curious how many of you guys who are upset about your local MEC and ALPA National Flight Pay Loss and Officer Compensation have:
If it passes at the local level but does not move on from there, consider starting a recall movement against the reps in question or the MEC officers in question.
That said, the resolution needs to be "fair." By that I mean it can't be something completely radical (they get no pay, strictly on a volunteer basis!!!) or in violation of C&BL or MEC Policy Manuals.
Base it on the pay in the equipment they are trained and staffed at their airline (not just what they could hold). Consider adding an "override" of sorts b/c they should be "working" 5 days a week. Per diem is not necessary b/c they usually have hotels, meals and incidentals covered through an expense reimbursement accounts at CONUS rates.
It would be similar to what the current process is now but with some tweaks. Do some research at your MEC and come up with a reasonable solution. Then use the structure in place and get involved changing what you don't like about your union.
It's that whole "grass roots," bottom up leadership thing.
Or do nothing and just keep bitching about it on internet boards!

- Written resolutions at the LEC level,
- Passed them,
- Moved them on to the MEC level and then,
- Have them moved up to the National Executive Board?
