Herb WXXl (the original snack packer himself) is sending out text messages to DFW pilots lobying against recalling Tony & Dave. Here is what he's sending:
Since he is sending it out to DFW pilots without their invitation, It's copied and pasted below exactly how he is sending it out.
"Hope all is well. I know everybody likes to stay away from things like this, but I would like to ask a favor. Val and Kelly are having a meeting this Wednesday of LEC 83 at the Hyatt at 1:30 mainly to pass resolutions to recall the MEC officers (Tony and Dave), the communications chairman (Jared), and the SPC chairman (Hector). Their motives are purely political, they along with HXXb Mark, Bxxl Spxxxue, Phil Vaxxxe, and Sxm Pxxl are working to take control of the MEC so they can change the direction of the politics of the MEC, even if it means lying to achieve this. This group has said many times that they want to fight the company, under their direction we all would have spent tons of money in court in order to eventually take pay cuts, vacation cuts, hourly cuts, and much more. I say this based on the APA losing their case against the company in bankruptcy court. Instead the thought process was to be creative with our options up front rather than the other options. Tony and Dave end their terms this August and both have expressed they will not be running again, so a recall 4 months from the end of their term is nothing but a waste. If you are available I would like to ask that you go to the meeting and vote against these recalls, for the pure reason of not letting LEC 83 be a part of personal agendas. Val has said many times that LEC 83 wants to fight at every turn. After flying with so many pilots at DFW, and talking to so many at the PUB events and Family Awareness event, this is just not the case. The pilots are reasonable and want to ensure their careers are taken care of. These gentleman have a personal agenda and are not interested in protecting jobs and quality of life. Kelly published a letter that stated he wants all negotiations to be stopped until expenses are discussed. That would mean that being able to negotiate the most pilot beneficial PBS system would be in jeopardy of being just another PBS that we are un-happy with, AQP which could be a very big and positive change in training here at Eagle could be more of a jeopardy event than it has to be, and Eagle pilots could be put in the back seat regarding merger talks in the AA US Air merger. Which could jeopardize quality of life dramatically.
I was personally very proud of being a part of the events of last year. I call it the best – worst experience of my life. It was hard, but very rewarding to be able to ensure that the pilots were able to get the avenue they deserved to have access to information. I was very happy to be able to provide both the pilots and their families a chance to see that they were not the only people being affected by being part of a bankrupt company. Val, Kelly, and this group did not want the pilots to have this access. They fought it at every turn. I hate to see these petty politics to be what the past year is what this is all about for some. We have a great group of pilots here and Val and Kelly want everybody to think that we are not. I personally am ok for recalls on truth, but the things that are being said are full of lies…for example, I’ve had FO’s ask me how Tony and Dave arranged to be in the first new hire class at AA – they haven’t and they can’t.
I apologize for this being so long, it is amazing to me that so much hard work by volunteers doesn’t matter in any way shape or form. Please let me know your thoughts and if you would be able to help me. Also, if you happen to speak to anybody and they can also come and help stop this idiocy let me know. My motivation is about righting wrongs, my role is still as your Family Awareness Coordinator. Communications and ensuring truth is relayed is very important to me.
Thank you for your time,
Hxxb Wxxl
Okay, I did edit it... I removed his phone number. Even I'm not that mean. Yep, the receipts are all lies. The ALPA policies aren't written in black and white. You guys didn't missapropriate large sums of money. Oh, and from where I sit, the APA did a hell of a lot better than we did, and they still are. These guys thinks scraps from the table are a Kings meal.... they've been beaten down so badly that when the beating isn't as bad as the last one, they call it a win. They're friggin nuts. This maddness has to stop.
Guys, get to this meeting and vote, or get your proxy carried in.
