ALGFLY:

I love the rumor mill going on around ALG and PDT on why we did not particpate in the Bronner meeting. What you said is exactly why you are ill informed on this issue.

Let me clerify.

All three WO MEC's knew that Duane screwed the pooch when it came to sighning LOA 83. We have asked ALPA many times to come up with a soultion with the mainline MEC to fix this problem which they said they would, but obviously have not. Here's the catch. We are still able to hold ALPA accoutable for this mess. If all three MEC's had met with Bronner, there was nothing stopping ALPA from saying "Look we tried to fix this and had a solution, but managment turned it down" Then ALPA would be off the hook for good. By us staying out of it, it was a strategy to issue that ALPA must fix this problem for all three wholly owned and still be held accountable. We did not particiapte because of the reason you mentioned earlier. Believe whaqt you want, but you wanted to know why? There's why.

Well, I wouldn't exactly classify my knowledge of the situation ill informed. But, if the reason your MEC decided to ignore the other two WO's and the ML MECC was a strategy to ultimately hold ALPA accountable, then why not tell us? There is strength in our unity. The by-product of the Bronner meeting was the meeting yesterday that PSA attended. Did you guys now change your strategy?

We discussed the reasons we would not participate in the Bronner meeting with both Rick and Olaf at our last MEC meeting in closed session. Why they didn't communicate that to your pilot groups, I can't answer.

Yesterday's talks actaully DID go well. They are going to be putting a working group together and come up with some solutions on the RJ issue. Were it goes from here, not sure, but it's nice that the ML MEC would like to talk about this isse rather then giving it to us up the tailpipe like they have been doing.

However, USAirways need's to get the dept down, or this will all be a moot point.

I say refire all of the Potomac managment and send the jets to PDT, ALG, PSA etc. The way they rolled on the pilots at PDC maybe the managment should get tossed too.
