MEC chairman has vote of no confidence at CAL

[PCL_128]

There's a big difference between a vote of no confidence in a CEO and a vote of no confidence in an MEC Chair. The MEC members have no control over who holds the CEO spot. They directly control who sits in the MEC Chairman's seat. This should be interpreted as a shot across his bow. They're probably warning him to resign on his own, or they'll force him out against his will. This vote proves that they have the votes to remove him. Definitely not meaningless.

Maybe you should stick to posting this crap on Calforums.com. Nobody else really gives a rats a&^ about our internal union squabbles. Besides, the no vote was from who? 1 GUM rep? Let's not bore the rest of the aviation world with our dirty laundry.

A man is not an island- and neither is any contract in this pattern bargaining world we created. CAL is one of the best run airlines out there- meaning you're now a standard- what you do affects all of us. You're lacking in a lot of areas and you don't deserve to be- especially in work rules.

You've got all of our support in any union issue that you've got.

I suspect the MEC chair will be recalled on the 29th. I could be wrong but my money is on him getting the boot. It needs to be done!

you think he will show up for it?

Didn't know you ever were here.

I meant the combined CAL and XJT MEC of a few years ago. And yup, I was there. The other side of the table was always where all the entertainment was. I think you left Express for AT during the hight of it.

oh yeah, War Eagle!

There could be a couple problems with large hub overlap between you two----CLE and ORD, and EWR and IAD. People like to say EWR and IAD passengers are totally different, but do you need the same amount of feed to both hubs? That is the question.

Who knows what will ultimately happen, it will be interesting...

CLE is not a large hub, not even close (unless you count the EMB-145). The NY metro area is the biggest, by far, O/D area in the US, there is no comparison between EWR and IAD
