[QUOTE=Dave Fitzgerald;2507229][QUOTE=baseball;2507080]Maybe consider this..... Is ALPA aware of instances whereby PBS has not honored seniority? The answer is yes. Ok a dispute gets filed, the results, overall solution constraints is the answer. When ALPA gets that answer and does not jump on the hand grenade then the dues paying member who got his seniority number changed just got rolled. Is that not an abrogation of seniority?

There is not successful outcome or result for the pilot who gets these types of answers or responses after PBS runs. If the pilot got a reduced, or unfavorable bid result he should have had, then the system, which ALPA monitors, and participates in via a joint committee is victimizing a dues paying member in good standing.

So, are we paying union dues to get our seniority watered down? PBS was put out in section 25 of the old CAL contract, 02. That section was blank when it was signed by the MEC and put to the pilot group for a vote. It was blank during the vote, and it was blank a month after the vote. It said "to be inserted at a later date." Then, the later date came, and the MEC alone voted on it and put it into place. The pilots never got to see the rules or what PBS was until after the MEC's vote. Why not another vote on PBS? You can't do something this big, without the pilots seeing it and actually voting on it. And, yes, this was an ALPA contract.
