Did you not see the newsletter outlining all the new schedule types for the October bid? That was super awesome for once.
Do not confuse critical staffing levels with lack of effort on his part. If there’s anyone in the Union that deserves praise, it’s BL.
Why wouldn’t he support the TA, he’s part of the Union and the negotiated terms greatly expanded language determining the Scheduling Committees role in schedule building. Why would he openly be a no vote?
“Hopefully going to lead” We are all tired of “hopefully”. October was the same crap as the rest of the year. The 45 minute reports benefits the company just as much. When the top 30% (which is still a low number) can’t hold more than 11 days off in September and October, which are usually the slowest air travel months of the year, we haven’t made tangible progress.
He is absolutely trying to make change and he is one of the few in the Union I can say are in the position they should be in.
