Hey G unit, while you are at it, why don't you buy Ben a new puppy as well....
I think all of us want to work for a company that has a good working relationship with labor, but let's face it; we don't! Time and time again NK's mgmt. has shown, not only the pilot group, but all other working groups how they feel toward labor.
Personally, I'm glad that I'm represented by guys that have; "done that, got the T-shirt!".
I don't think he is running for anything, in fact he can't, he is an FO. That being said, all he did was publish SPA's flight pay loss, something that the MEC is required to do anyway. The fact that they have decided to side step the policy manual and the by-laws has (in this case) been fixed. I realize there was a strike last year, but multiple members pulling down 70K in FPL is more than a bit steep.
Riddle me this Shifty, how does someone on leave receive flight pay loss? If one is on leave, thus has NO TRIPS to drop; how is he reimbursed for trips missed?
In addition to the 70K club, there are rumors that some ALPA guys received payments directly from ALPA and received 1099's. Money still paid out of dues, but not reported (if you can shake the report loose) on the FPL log. Who needs premium pay when you have FPL?
