Having said that, things are definitely moving backwards here in terms of QOL, compensation amongst our peers and morale. I think we are about to see a rise in FO and junior CA attrition. I do wish the union leadership would engage with the pilot group some more. The upcoming base visits are nice, but obviously only a portion of us will be around for those. All pilot teleconferences are always helpful for the pilot group to get updated on the current state of relations between the company and ALPA, whether or not much is going on.
seems as though Sam is lacking in what he said he would do if he got elected MEC Chair here are his selling points for getting elected taken from sam pool for mec chairman email sent 10/6/14
• It is my goal to challenge the leadership of ALPA National to align their actions with their words: they can not continue publicly decrying pilot pay & benefits while simultaneously approving long-term pilot contracts that lock in decaying pilot pay & benefits (especially when undercutting other ALPA work groups).
• I want to increase two-way communication and crew-room presence of ALPA.
• I want to ensure compliance with our existing contract to the fullest extent possible. This past year the company set out on a mission to modify our existing, forward-looking contract. It is my belief that such a process would be more likely to bear fruit if both parties resolved outstanding disagreements first.
I believe in a strong work ethic, commitment to honesty, integrity and transparency; and I ask the same of everyone who performs ALPA work on the pilots’ behalf, after all, we’re spending your hard-earned dues money.
