I know because you said this exact thing when the flight pay loss resolutions were ignored. That's the problem acl.

Carl;
FWIW, your DTW CA rep is the one that agreed to the compromise of the FPL resolution. I was not there but that is what I am told.
For your own information. The FPL will be posted on the Treasure's page after each quarterly MEC meeting. Why what you ask? Guess its the same with everything else, they present it to the MEC and then to the pilots. Its also done in open session so any one can watch the Treasurer's Report.
Q 1 is up there if a recall, and the updated one will be up there as soon as its formatted correctly. There were some changes desired by the MEC so that takes time to do.
Also, its FPL period, no break down of 24J v non-24J, but the FPL is up there. Also you are free to check any pilots schedule for this reason. Verify it if you desire.
On the resolution that Bar proposes, one rep cannot move the tide and there is good reason for that. It a dampener in the system. To get the ball rolling on any issue, you must show up and present one. Also if any sort of resolution like this passes it must go up to National and the EC and then ultimately to the BOD.
One offs like Block Representation are approved in the governing documents and there are a few carriers out there that have it, FDX and HAL are two I can think of off of my head. Changes to what a group has now, or any modifications to the current representation structure get approved by the EC.
