Indeed! The MEC Grievance Committee is creating significant value for the current, and all future contracts by establishing and re-establishing ALPA's contractual rights. I've lost track of the wins by the grievance committee since the UPA was signed. If anyone has a list of the system board awards, please post it. My guess is that this committee has preserved millions and millions of dollars for current and future United pilots.
Assuming LCAs have personal integrity and value the collective strength of a union, I don't understand why they'd assist in the adulteration of the contract. They are volunteers, as such they can choose not to be an LCA. Senior management proves daily that they lack the integrity to lead the pilot group (only manage them, poorly) or engage all employees to be an unstoppable force in the industry. It's a shame that LCAs would haul that line for few pieces of silver, is this 1982/84 all over again?
