Informational Stapling Compass to Delta Website

Which meeting?

The double super-secret one.

 

[PCL_128]

I heard that it passed at the Council 44 meeting.

 

[ACL65PILOT]

It passed 24-17 with no proxy votes.

 

[Hamfighter]

So where does it go from here?
Is it a done deal, or more votes/approvals needed?

 

[PeanuckleCRJ]

The resolution passed basically has them research the possibilities, advantages, and disadvantages of keeping compass in the mec along with an SLI, or breaking them off to form their own MEC.

 

[Hamfighter]

So they've decided to think about it.

So they've decided to think about it.

Well, no, they've decided to think and possibly even have further discussions about it. A major milestone, to be sure.

A much stronger resolution is in the works at LEC 20.

LEC 44 was going to be the most difficult to push this through at, thus the weakened wording.

You're right about LEC 44 being a difficult LEC to push a resolution through, particularly when there is a low turnout. LEC 44 normally has quite a few MEC administration pilots in attendance and they often vote against resolutions that are too directive in nature, nobody likes being told what to do, even if an LEC rsolution can't direct the MEC.

The balance of power favors those who show up to vote. Had there been a large number of junior pilots in attendance, there weren't, stronger language might have been possible.

That being said, the language is fairly strong given the circumstances. It identifies CPZ as unique among DCI carriers, points out the areas that need to be considered, calls for pilot input, that the recommendation to ALPA national be delayed if there is insufficient time to thoroughly examine the issue etc.

 

[ACL65PILOT]

True enough FDJ.
For a Local 44 resolution, it was fairly strong worded.
