Does anyone else find this odd and resemble collusion. It looks to me like all the DFW pilots are indeed locked out by inconvenience when indeed the ALPA constitution allows inclusion by clearly spelling out how concurrent meetings are perfectly allowed.
Had the DFW pilots known the date they might have had a better chance to attend and vote by bidding the days off.
You mean the LEC, which includes the current Secretary/Treasurer, based in LAS, and also running for captain rep is ignoring the following...
SECTION 3 - LOCAL COUNCIL MEETINGS
A. Local Council meetings shall be the forum of the general membership of the Association.
B. REGULAR LOCAL COUNCIL MEETINGS
Regular meetings of the Local Council shall be called at least once every four (4) months by the Chairman, or by the Vice Chairman or Secretary-Treasurer at the direction of the Chairman.
"The following shall be complied with during Local Council meetings: where applicable, due to the size of the Council, or availability of membership, and in order to allow the maximum number of members to attend a meeting, the meeting may be divided into two (2) or more sessions. Each meeting having
more than one session shall discuss the same items on the published agenda, and in case of new business at the first session, such new business shall be discussed at the remaining sessions of the meetings. Any vote taken on any matter of business must be a compilation of the voting on that matter of business of all sessions. Voting at second or subsequent sessions must be confined to the issues voted upon at the first session, including votes to table, amend, etc. Any action to amend or to otherwise dispose of an item at a second or subsequent session requires that said decision be placed on the published agenda of the next regular meeting of the Council. In case of a tie vote, the Local Executive Council shall vote the issue and their vote shall be the decision of the Council. Items of business not discussed at all sessions shall revert to the next Local Council meeting for final decision."
Let's be real. They don't want DFW pilots to vote. If they did, they'd hold a vote in DFW. Period. No big deal, and obviously logistically possible. Rather, they claim that DFW pilots should commute to LAS to exercise their RIGHT, ignoring the provision listed above. Let's call it what it is....dirty politics, once again.
I don't like it either, but when you and your team gets to run the "family" consigliere, and it's time to vote on ORD/DTW/ACY, are you gonna run a 3 base vote?Originally Posted by A320Flyer
