Your Homework:

Read PWA Section 1.B.19, Section 1.C.1-2, 1.E.3-4, 1.F.3, and 1.P . Think and draw an unemotional conclusion as to how that will affect the Delta Pilots. Write a short essay, 500 words or less, have a peer review and proof-read it. Send to your reps. Await their response.


Before the end of the "Spring Semester":

Attend an LEC meeting to present any ideas to improve the union in resolution form, and make sure your voices are being heard and that the union representatives are being thoughtful, intelligent, and properly representing the will of their constituents.
Sounds a little sanctimonious, Shiznit. Don't take this as sarcasm, but I assume one won't be able to attend the pertinent discussions, since they'll be in closed session. I also assume we won't be able to present input that is thoughtful, intelligent, or meaningful, since it will be necessity uninformed input.

How can I steer my rep on something he probably can't even confirm is happening. How do I know whether something is good, or bad, if I don't know what it is?

I trust my reps to do their best, but I think it's a little disingenuous to suggest any of us are failing to provide input on something this vague. I'd be pretty thrilled to read that I'm at least going to vote on the results.

You have any input on that? I don't need 500 words; a sentence will do.
