The point here is that it’s still profoundly important to talk about these (any) issues to your fellow pilots. So few of us actually attend LEC meetings, and fewer follow through on local resolutions. If we’re not talking to each other, it’s hard to know what the majority actually wants.
Actually, I would recommend going one step further. Ping your LEC Reps as well on any concerns and discuss it. I’ve relayed my opinions in no uncertain term to my reps. No, you won’t get any inside info on what’s going on, but they are your only avenue to provide feedback to the Negotiating Committee at this point.
Their email and phone number is on the ALPA website.
Idle talk amongst line pilots doesn’t send a message other than *****ing between line pilots.......
Don’t wait for an AIP and TA to try a better comm tactic.
My 2 cents.
