Since no one has grown a pair and banded together and contacted a labor attorney to persue DFR, it seems they'll have a green light until it's basically too late. Sad what's become of my old stomping grounds.
for once something very accurate from this guy.
The ORD LEC will not hold a meeting, because they will most likely be recalled. The ORD LEC is 51%+ majority for the DG, Gutz clan, which is our MEC. Our MEC blows, and is a management puppet.
Also keep in mind the ORD LEC rep actually emailed all the ORD pilots and called out the names of the pilots who wanted him recalled!
If ORD LEC is recalled, they could vote to vote out DG and bring in a new MEC. DG has not flown in years, gets paid 90hr CRJ Captain pay each month plus other perks. The list goes on/on. Including they recently just tried to pass that they could keep alcoholic drinks on the tabs of union paid meals.
Best case for everyone is have ORD LEC recalled, get new reps, vote out DG, and maybe actually have a union that cares about the pilots.
