Why the silence? Are they coordinating w/ the Co on their next moves? Useless turds.
 
It's literally deafening.

The lack of a message in the past 30 hours is 100x more resounding than any words they could have published.

They have been rocked to the core. I can't wait to see what comes next.

And yes, useless turds. :)
 
Bet they're squiming in mgt.'s back pocket as those trousers just got tighter with this vote! :)
 
I don't recall receiving an email from National when Eagle refused their TA or even when compass signed theirs. Or are you referring to the MEC?

There should be NO negotiating between XJT MEC and XJT. Pilots need to be surveyed before any more negotiating starts up. If there really was an emergency meeting yesterday, the company called it.
 
They sent an email out yesterday. Do you want another one because it's a different day?

One naturally assumes they'd maintain the average of 3 per day is all.

Although, those were all penned by the same person. Some guy that told us we had to vote yes.

Maybe they let that guy go.

Shame.
 
Didn't see it. What's the matter Clutchy, you vote yes?

So, you didn't see the email so you start whining like a bitch that they aren't sending out emails. I don't know man. Check your spam folder or something but morons like you whining about things, which you haven't a clue, are a huge problem. Verify some sh-t before you rant and rave. Just once. Verify. You're becoming more than annoying.

There has been some position changes over there. EF has stepped down and I guess they're sorting it all out.
 
Hey Clutchy, it's the ignore function. Get a grip man, this is FI after all. Sorry your yes vote didn't carry the day. Maybe next vote? lmao

This line from the email really stood out for me:

"Both MECs are meeting in a special session today in Atlanta, working on a plan that sets us on a course toward addressing your concerns and building a future single contract."

Why weren't our concerns addressed the first time around? The MEC doesn't even know what our concerns are since we haven't had a single poll taken in years. This is the saddest part about the whole fiasco.

Reminds me of the "representatives" in D.C. who argue amongst themselves behind closed doors about "what is best for us" while never asking us what we want.

It's time for new reps.

ALPA is you the pilots of your group


when I worked at Mesaba in the mid 90s we sure had our problems but we took care of them in house first then after we put our house in order we took the rest to National level
 
ALPA National has widely injected itself into the regional negotiating arena. They've basically sent out somethig along the lines of 'you're gonna have to take one for the [ALPA] team'. They're in on the concessionary agreements; my guess is they're trying to kill the regionals by forcing them to eat themselves alive.
