The United MEC met today to continue its Ground School on a potential Tentative Agreement. They heard from the UAL-MEC Negotiating Committee and additional members of the JNC on Sick Leave, Leaves of Absence, Memorandums of Understanding (MOUs), Physical Exams, Definitions, and Workers’ Comp. The Continental and United MECs met in joint session for a briefing on Section 9 – Training.

On Thursday, the two MECs will meet in joint session to review the Scheduling Sections 5 and 20 - Hours of Service, and Allocation/Assignment/Scheduling of Flying.

Due to Communication server issues on Tuesday, last night’s MEC update is being included in this Update. There was a corruption of data in the AMES server list which did not send the update to all active pilots. It also sent the update to retired pilots, who are not normally included on the UAL Fastread list.

Here is Tuesday's MEC Update:

MEC International Code Share Committee Chairman and MEC Domestic Code Share Committee Chairman discuss Scope issues during Ground School on Tuesday.

The United MEC today was briefed on Section 1 – Scope by International Code Share Committee Chairman, Domestic Code Share Committee Chairman, and CAL-MEC Alliance Committee Chairman. The MEC also was briefed on Section 4 - Expenses, Lodging, and Transportation by Negotiating Committee Chairman and Hotel Committee Chairman.

On Wednesday, the UAL-MEC will review Definitions, Vacation, Physical Exams, Workers Compensation, and Sick Leave. Additionally, the UAL-MEC and the CAL-MEC will meet jointly to receive a briefing on Section 9 - Training.

The MEC also conducted some business both in and out of closed session.

We will continue to keep our Pilots informed of the MEC’s progress.
